 will send a mixture entirely of my own selection, all good, 

 showy varieties, not labeled. 75 cts. per doz., $3 per 100. 



Erianthus ravennae (Plume Grass) 



A very ornamental Grass, thriving in sunny situ- 

 ations in light, well-drained soils. It forms a hand- 

 some, broad clump, growing from 7 to 12 feet high, 

 with beautiful plumes and graceful, dark, bronzy 

 green foliage; is admirable to plant in connection 

 with other grasses, or as a background for shrub- 

 bery. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 



Yucca filameiltosa (Adam's Needle) 



A low evergreen without a central stem. The long, 

 narrow leaf-blades come out from the root-crown. 

 In June or July it shoots up heavy stalks, laden at 

 the top with ivory-white flowers. It is valuable in 

 separate or mixed plantings. Small plants, 10 cts. 

 each, $1 per doz.; large clumps, 25 cts. each, $2.50 

 per doz.
