The Plumes of Eulalia. These ripen 

 in late Fall and last nearly all Winter. The 

 flowers of the Pampas Grass and the Plume 

 Grass, also listed below, are similar. 



Some ornamental Reeds and Grasses. No. i, the Giant Reed, or Arundo 

 Donax. No. 2, Eulalia Gracillima variegata, an especially decorative variety 

 whose leaves have prominent mid-ribs of white markings. In habit it is similar 

 to the other Eulalias. Both varieties shown are described and priced below. 



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. If the plumes are cut before they are entirely 

 ripe they can be used for interior decorations during the Winter. For planting along streams and in groups 

 about ponds these plants are almost indispensable. In addition they also look well when planted in con- 

 nection with shrubbery or herbaceous borders. 



Groups in the open lawn consisting entirely of Grasses are very attractive and will increase in beauty 

 annually. Although not generally used, we believe that these inexpensive plants are worthy of more atten- 

 tion when you consider your planting problems. 



Arundo donax. Giant Reed. 8 to 10 feet. 

 This tall-growing reed has most beautiful long, 

 narrow leaves. Its beauty is perhaps best dis- 

 played when planted in the background of a mixed 

 border, or as the central feature of a bed composed 

 entirely of ornamental grasses. Price, 25 cents 

 each; $2.00 per 10; $16.00 per 100. 



var. variegata. Variegated form of the above. 

 Price, 35 cents each; $3.00 per 10. 



Hardy Bamboos 



These odd and interesting plants from the semi- 

 tropical regions can be grown satisfactorily in the 

 latitude of Philadelphia by planting in sheltered 

 positions. They require rich, moist and well- 

 drained soil. Especially suited for water-side plant- 

 ing and valued for their tropical appearance. 



Bambusa aurea. Small, serrate, light green 

 leaves. Strong plants, 35 cents each; $2.50 per 10; 



B. Simoni. Long, narrow leaves. Strong plants, 

 35 cents each; S2.50 per 10. 



Erianthus Ravennae. Plume Grass, or Hardy 

 Pampas. Grows 9 to 12 feet high. Sends up a great 

 number of silvery flower plumes almost equal in 

 beauty to the famous Pampas Grass of the South. 

 For planting in the northern States we recommend 

 1 his on account of its hardness. Strong divisions, 25 

 cents each; $2 00 per 10; $15.00 por 100. 



Gynerium argentium. Pampas Grass. 8 to 

 10 feet. Valued most for Southern planting, al- 

 though with protection and in sheltered places its 

 beauty can be enjoyed in many localities. Long, 

 silvery plumes add to its beauty during the Autumn 

 months. Strong divisions, 35 cents each; $3.00 per 



10. 



The Eulalias 



Eulalia Japonica; syn. Miscanthus sinensis. 



5 to 6 feet. Green leaves, broader than those of 

 the following varieties. In the late Summer and 

 early Fall this plant is most attractive with its 

 graceful plumes. Splendid for natural landscapes. 

 Strong divisions, 15 cents each; $1.25 per 10; 

 $10.00 per 100. 



Var. gracillima. Japan Rush. 5 to 6 feet. A 

 beautiful, tall, swaying grass, with narrow green 

 leaves and silvery white mid-rib. Brown tassels like 

 those in the picture in late Fall and Winter. Strong 

 divisions, 15 cents each; $1.25 per 10; $10.00 per 100. 



var. variegata. 4 to 5 feet. The long, narrow 

 leaves are striped with white mid-ribs. See illustra- 

 tion above. Strong divisions, 15 cents each; $1.25 

 per 10; $10.00 per 100. 



var. Zebrinus. 4 to 5 feet. The leaves are 

 marked at regular intervals with spots of yellow. 

 Interesting because of the odd variation that the 

 foliage presents. Strong divisions, 15 cents each; 

 $1.25 per 10; $10.00 per 100.
