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.  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. 
ARUNDO  donax.  Giant  Reed.  A  tall  reed, 
that  partakes  of  the  same  nature  as  a  corn-stalk, 
with  most  beautiful,  long,  narrow  leaves.  A  showy 
plant,  well  suited  to  border  planting  or  in  other 
places  that  will  suggest  themselves.     Each  10

BAMBUSA.  Bamboo.  These  odd  and  inter- 
esting plants  from  the  semi-tropics  have  been 
found  hardy  here,  and  are  decorative  in  many 
places.  A  slight  Winter  protection  is  desirable, 
but  not  entirely  necessary.  We  offer  the  varieties 
Aurea  Simoni  and  Henonis.    75  cents  each.

One  of  the  distinguishing  features  of  our  nursery  is  that  we  raise 
nearly  all  the  stock  we  sell  and  dig  it  freshly  tor  each  order,  and  do  not 
carry  it  in  storage  cellars.  Another  advantage  is  that  our  stock  for  the 
most  part  is  acclimated  and  more  likely  to  endure  our  American  climate 
than  imported  plants  are.
