EULALIAS 



GR ACITjL.131 A UNIVITT AT A.— This grand variety of Enlal ia forms 

 exceedingly handsome clumps four to live feet high, which are hardy in all 

 Ijarts of the country. Tne graceful, narrow foliage is beautiful shining 

 green, with midrib of silvery-white. We strongly recommend this superb 

 ornamental plant. 



JAPONICA ZEBRINA.— This fine ornamental Grass is the finest of 

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

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

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

 to do justice io this splendid variety in portraying the number of plumes; 

 we had on our trial grounds, as late as November 1, thousands of Japoriica 

 2rft)ri>ia with fifty to one hundred plumes on S'nsle clumps. All our plants 

 are propagated from the root, and hence more valuable than seedlings 

 which do not come true. 



JAPONICA 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. 



ERIANTHUS 



KAVENNiE.— An entirely hardy, reed-ike Ornamental Grass, throwing 

 up thirty to forty fine, erect flower stalks, eight to ten ftet high the first 

 season. The plumes are soft gray in color, and highly valued as parlor orna- 

 ments ; very effective as lawn plants.
