ERIANTHUS RAVENNA. 



A perfectly hardy Ornamental Grass, very large 

 and strong. It throws up 20 to 30 splendid flower stalks, 

 9 to 12 feet high, each one crowned with a beautiful 

 feathery plume over one foot long, and very graceful 

 and pretty ; these are highly valued for parlor orna- 

 ments. It makes a striking and handsome lawn plant, 

 strongly resembling the Pampas Grass, but blooms much 

 more profusely, and has the advantage of being entirely 

 hardy. 2$ cents ; 6 for ^1.25 ; ^2.50 per dozen.
