Pampas Grass. 
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 
Suitable for Mixed Flower Borders, Winter 
Decorations, Boquets, &c. 
The Ornamental Grasses are graceful and highly interesting, and should have a place in every 
flower garden. They produce a beautiful and pleasing contrast when interspersed with flower- 
ing plants. Most of the varieties may be dried for winter boquets, or used for filling vases* 
either in a dried or green state. 
That the plants may develop their true character, transplant or thin out sufficiently to afford 
space for the growth of each, and this should be done as soon as the plants can be handled.
