PAMPAS GRASS (Gynerium Argenteuml. 



One of the most effective of the Ornamental Grasses. Its silvery plumes are produced on stems 8 to 10 feet high. Well- 

 established plants can remain in the open ground from year to year if protected. Requires a rich and deep soil. The 

 plumes, when cut before they fully expand, and dried in the shade, make handsome winter decorations. 

 25 to 50 cts. each. Extra strong plants for immediate effect, $1.00 to $2.00 each. 



LILIES. 



Some of the varieties of V this favorite flower are truly magnificent. They are all hardy, and the bulbs can be 

 planted either in the spring 1 or autumn; a covering of manure will be found beneficial during winter, but must 

 be removed very early in \ spring to prevent too rapid growth. The ground should be thoroughly ctrained. 

 For pot-culture we recommend the Candidunis, Lancifoliums, Longiflorums and Auratum.
