EBHARDY ORNAMENTAL GRASSES^S 



For ornamental purposes, such as hedging, planting in clumps to h'de 

 an unsightly object, or singly on the lawn, these grasses are strikingly 

 original in effect and impart a degree of tropical brilliance to the land- 

 scape. The clumps enlarge in size yearly, each season's growth dying to 

 the ground every Winter, but is supplanted by newer, denser and more 

 vigorous increase. In the Fall the grass may be cut and utilized for the 

 Winter protection of tender plants and Roses. The plumes which these 

 grasses produce are large and beautiful, having a feathery appearance, 

 and a re useful for interior decoration. A bsolutely hardy.

 EULftLISS 



GRACIL.L.IMA UNIVITTATA.- This grand variety of Eulalia 

 forms exceedingly handsome clumps four to five feet high, which are 

 hardy in all parts of the country. The graceful, narrow foliage is beauti- 

 ful shining green, with midrib of silvery-white. We strongly recommend 

 this superb ornamental plant. 



JAPONICA ZEBR1NA This fine ornamental Grass is the finest of 



all Eulalias for single lawn specimens or clumping. Grows four to seven 

 iect high. The leaf blades are deep green, distinctly striped crosswise 

 Avith large bars of pure white, as shown in engraving. The artist has 

 failed to do justice to this splendid variety in portraying the number of 

 plumes ; we had on our trial grounds, as late as November 1, thousands 

 of Japonica Zebrina with fifty to one hundred plumes on single clumps. 

 All our plants are propagated from the root, and hence more valuable 

 than seedlings which do not come true. 



JAPOS1CA VARIEGATA.-A standard old sort of distinctive 

 value; blades are striped lengthwise in a handsome manner, being a 

 combination of creamy white in the center with a broad margin of bright 

 green. Plumes are very beautiful. 



ERIftNTHUS 



RAVEJVTV.3E.— An entirely hardy, reed-like Ornamental Grass, throw- 

 ing up thirty to forty fine, erect flower stalks, eight to ten feet high the 

 first season. The plumes are soft gray in color and highly valued as par- 

 lor ornaments ; very effective as lawn plants.
