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 ettect and impart a degree of tropical brilliance to tlie landscape. The 

 clumps enlarge in size yearly, each season's growth dying to the ground 

 eve y Winter, but is supplanted by newer, denser and more vigorous 

 increase. In the Fall the grass may be cut and utilized for the Winter 

 protection of tender plants and Roses. The pUimes which these grasses 

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

 useful lor interior decoration. Absolutely hardy.

EULALIAS 



GR ACII.L.I3IA UNIVITT AT A.— Th is grand variety of Enlal ia forms 

 exceedingly handsome clumps four to live 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 recommend this superb 

 ornamental plant. 



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

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

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

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

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

 we had on < ur trial grounds, as late as November 1, thousands of Japonica 

 zco?-/»a with fifty to one hundred plumes on smgle cUimps. All our plants 

 are propagnted 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-like Ornamental Grass, throwing 

 up thirty to forty fine, erect fiower stalks, eight to ten feet high tlie first 

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

 ments; very effective as lawn plants.
