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. 



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.
