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 produced 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. Re- 

 quires 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 cts. Extra strong 

 plants for immediate effect can be furnished from $1 to $2 each.
