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 alon^ 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 

 displayed when planted in the back- 

 ground of a mixed border, or as the 

 central feature of a bed composed 

 entirely of ornamental grasses. $0.35 

 each: $2.50 per 10. 



The Eulalias 



EULALIA Japonica; syn. Mis- 

 canthus 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. $0.25 

 each; $2.00 per 10; $15.00 per 100. 



var. gracillima. Japan Rush. 

 5 to 6 feet. A beautiful, tall, sway- 

 ing grass, with narrow green leaves 

 and silvery white midrib. Brown 

 tassels in late Fall and Winter. 

 Strong divisions. $0.25 each; $2.00 

 per 10; $15.00 per 100. 



var. variegata. 4 to 5 feet. 

 The long, narrow leaves are striped 

 with white midribs. Strong divisions. 

 $2.00 per 10; $15.00 per 100. 



var. Zebrina. 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. $0.25 each; $2.00 per 10; $15.00 

 per 100.
