HARDY ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 



For ornamental purposes, such as hedging, planting iii clumps to hide an unsightly object, or singly on the lawn, these 

 grasses are strikingly original in effect and impart a degree of tropical brilliance to the landscape. 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 in- 

 crease. 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 appear- 

 ance, and are useful for interior decoration. Absolutely hardy.

 ceedingly-handsome clumi)S four to five feet high, which are hardy 

 in all parts of the country. The graceful, narrow foliage is beautiful 

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

 all Eulalias for single lawn specimens or clumping. Crows' 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 to this splendid variety In portraying 

 the number of plumes; we had on our trial grounds, as late as No- 

 vember 1, thousands of Japonica Zebrina yviih fifty to one hundred 

 plumes oh single clumx)s. All our plants are propagated trom the 

 root, and hence more valuable than seedlings which do not come true.

 blades are striped lengthwise in a handsome manner, being a com- 

 bination of creamy white in the centre with a broad margin of bright 

 green. Plumes are very beautiful.

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