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 

 sho\\y 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.
