TREE P>EONIES.

 winter, like the herbaceous variety, grows into a hard- 

 wooded shrub. The flowers are the same in form as the 

 common variet}', but of a light i)ink or blush color. As 

 the plants attain age they make very showy bushes and 

 are very desirable for planting among shrubbery.

Hardy Grasses. 



EULALIA JAPONICA VARIEGATA. i 



A very graceful, tall, ornamental grass from Japan. Its I 

 long, narrow leaf-blades are strijjcd green, white, and often 

 ])ink or yellow. It throws up stalks from 4 to 6 feet in 

 height, terminated with a cluster of flower spikes; the 

 flowers are surrounded by long silky threads, which, when 

 fully ripe, expand like an ostrich feather when curled. 

 These dryflowersare valuable as parlor ornaments, as they 

 retain their beauty for a long time.

EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 



This variety resembles Japonica in hardiness, growth 

 and bloom. The long blades are marked with broad yel- 

 low bands across the leaf instead of longitudinally. Its 

 markings are unlike any other grass. It makes a very 

 attractive specimen plant for the lawn, and will not fail to 

 attract attention. 



25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. Clumps $1.00 each. 



EULALIA GRACILLIMA UIMIVITTATA. 



This is a grand addition to the Ornamental Grasses ; it is 

 of a more comjiaet habit than the Japanese varieties, with 

 very narrow foliage, which is of a bright green color with 

 a silvery white midrib, similar to Dracaena Indivisa; its 

 general habit and appearance is very graceful, and we have 

 no doubt ihat it will become a general favorite. 

 50 cts. each ; .$5.00 per doz.
