HARDY ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 
Including Plants of Grass=like Habit, Suitable for Outdoor Planting. 
The Grasses seem most beautiful when mingled with other decorative plants. They are all essentially grace- 
ful in habit, and will be o£ service in taking away the stiffness and formality of groups of many otherwise hand- 
.some plants. Many of the species are of much value for winter decorations in a dried form, in which condition 
they preserve a great share of their beauty. All those marked with a star {*) are somewhat tender, and should be 
lifted and placed in a cold frame or cellar during winter.

SUCCULENT PLANTS. 
Including Agaves, Aloes, Echeverias, Euphorbias, Mesembryanthemums, Rocheas, 
Sansevieras, 5edums, Sempervivums and Cactuses. 
O UCCULENT plants are useful in many situations, both indoors and in the garden or on the lawns. They are 
fS) especially available for rockeries, and lend themselves to outdoor bedding in sunny places in a most 
^-^ distinct and effective way. Nearly all of the Agaves and many of the Aloes, and others of the robust habit, 
make handsome ornamental plants on lawns, or for decorating entrances, balconies, etc., affording a most 
admirable contrast to the tropical foliage plants, while the extreme beauty and regularity of "carpet" or 
" ribbon " beds wrought out with Kcheverias as the principal factor is well-known. Many of the Cactuses and 
Mesembryanthemums are noted for their brilliant and beautiful flowers, of great range of color and form, and 
often richly fragrant ; while the strange and wonderful shapes and habits of the Euphorbias, Stapelias and 
Crassulas win for them much admiration. 
This class of plants is rapidly returning to public favor, and has the great merit of requiring a minimum of 
care and attention from the planter. We keep in stock all select ornamental forms of succulent plants, and 
furnish a descriptive price list to all who ask for it.
