HARDY ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 



For ornamental purposes, such as hedging, planting in 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 tiie 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 increase. 

 In the Fall the grass may be cut and utilized fur the Winter protec- 

 tion of tender plants and Roses. The plumes which these grasses 

 produce are large and beautiful, having a feathery appearance, and 

 are useful for interior decoration. Absolutely hardy.

EULALIAS. 



Gracillima Univittata.— This grand variety of Eulalia forms ex- 

 ceedingly handsome clumps 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- 

 mend this superb ornamental plant. 



Japoiiica Zebrina.— This tine Ornamental Grass is the finest of 

 all Eulalias 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 to this splendid variety In portraying 

 the number of plumes; we had on our trial grounds, as late as 

 November 1, thousands of Japomca Zebrina with fifty to one hundred 

 plumes on single clumps. All our plants are propagated from the 

 root, and hence more valuable than seedlings which donot come true. 



Japonica Variegata.— A standard old sort of distinctive value: 

 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. 



ERIANTHUS. 



Ravennae.— An entirely hardy, reed-like Ornamental Grass, throw- 

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

 the first season. The plumes are soft gray in color and highly valued 

 as parlor ornaments ; very effective as lawn plants.
