Ornamental Grasses 



The ornamental grasses are very attractive to use in mixed 

 flower beds or borders, and for grouping by themselves give 

 fine effects. Many of them, if cut before they are entirely ripe, 

 will be found very useful, when dried, in the formation of 

 Winter bouquets, in connection with the "Everlastings."
