ALTHEAS    FOR    FLOWERING  HEDGES. 
From  July  to  September  these  glorious  flowers 
bloom  abundantly;  and  because  the  number  of 
flowers  is  increased  by  Winter  shearing,  which 
hedges  require,  this  is  a  flowering  hedge  par 
excellence.    For  descriptions  of  the  many  \'arieties

ORNAMENTAL  REEDS  AND  GRASSES 
THERE  are  few  things  more  efTective  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.  Both  are  excellent  for  bedding.  Each  is  equally  well  suited  for  mixed 
plantings  of  any  kind.  They  annually  increase  in  beauty  and  give  so  much  satisfaction  that  we  do  not 
hesitate  recommending  them  for  more  extensive  use.

Giant  Reed.  A  tall  reed,  that  partakes  of  the

long,  narrow,  whitish,  variegated  leaves.  A  showy 
plant,  well  suited  to  border  planting  or  in  other 
places  that  will  suggest  themselves.    Each  lo
