 awards have been given to it; and on all hands it has been spoken of as the most extensive and 

 beautiful ever got together in this country. We have arranged the collection in classes, according to 

 the weight of tlio fruit, feeling certain that this will be the most acceptable mode of offering it. Each 

 packet will contain a description of the fruit, colour, and shape.

OB,NAMENTAL GEASSES, 



For Winter-Eouriiiets, Dinnor-Table Decoratioais, Edgings, Ribbons, Ceati-ss of Bedj, Sub-trcpicsl 

 Gardens, Islands, Select Plantations, Shrabbarios, for the Sides of Eivulots, Ravines, lakes, &c. 

 It is scarcely possible to over-estimate the decorative qualities of Ornament.il Grasses, for the 



flower-garden and shrubberies; some are exceeding graceful, others neat and compact in growth; 



some again curious, while there are others stately .and m.ajcstic in appearance, the Ilok-us for example. 

 In their cultivation the plattffiould be so thinned out as to allow for individual developcment 

 All the grasses m'ay be gathered and dried for winter decoration ; but as some are better adapted 



for that purpose than others, ^ve recommend the collection for " Winter Bouquets."
