•GYNERIUM ARGENTEUM— Pampas Grass. 



The most effective and stately of all the Ornamental 

 Grasses, producing a grand effect on the lawn with its 

 graceful foliage and silvery plumes ; the latter are pro- 

 duced on stems 8 to 10 feet high, in upward of forty, on 

 well-established plants that remain in the open ground 

 from year to year with protection. This is best done by 

 tying the tops together and enclosing in a flour barrel, 

 with top open and space packed out with straw or leaves, 

 earthing up the soil well around the outside of barrel; or 

 it can be removed to a cellar and replanted in the spring. 

 Requires a rich and deep soil. The plumes, when cut 

 before they fully expand, and dried in the shade, make 

 handsome parlor ornaments for winter decoration. 



25 to 50 cents. Extra strong plants for immediate 

 effect can be furnished from $1 to $2 each. 



Gazania Splendens. Bright orange flowers. 15 cts. 



Genista Fragrans. Spikes of bright yellow flowers - 

 fragrant. 25 cents. 



Glaucium Corniculatum. Long silvery white, vel- 

 vety leaves; used for ribbon-beds. 15 cents; $1.50 

 per dozen. 



GYNERIUM ARGENTEUM— PAMPAS GRASS. 



GLOXINIA CRASSIFOLIA 

 GRANDIFLORA. 



Exceedingly showy and easily managed plants. After 

 planting the tubers in an equal mixture of fibrous peat, 

 light loam, manure and sand, they require little water until 

 they show growth; after this a moist heat is necessary. 

 When in bloom bring them into the conservatory or drawing- 

 room. After the plants have done blooming dry gradually 

 off, and keep in the pots over winter in a moderately warm 

 place under the staging of greenhouse. This variety is of 

 strong habit and excels in rich and varied colored flowers of 

 large bell-shape ; erect, horizontal and pendulous. 



Colors and Forms Classified. 



These have been assorted to color and form, and can be 

 relied on to answer description. 

 A — Flowers erect, of a bright rosy crimson color, throat pure 



white, minutely spotted with deep crimson; a lovely 



variety. 30 cents.
