Ornamental  Reeds  and  Grasses 
There  are  few  things  more  effective  in  landscape  work  than  this  class  of  plants.  They  are  strong 
rapid  growers  in  almost  any  soil.  During  the  close  of  summer  they  come  into  bloom  and  are  most 
showy  and  ornamental  with  their  large  flower-plumes.  The  Arundos  are  straight  and  erect,  the 
Grasses  slender  and  graceful.  They  annually  increase  in  beauty  and  give  so  much  satisfaction  that 
we  do  not  hesitate  recommending  them  for  more  extensive  use.
