Ornamental Reeds and Grasses 



THERE are few things more effective in landscape work than this class of plants. They are strong 

 rapid growers m 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 connection with shrubbery or herbaceous borders.
