ORNAMENTAL GRASSES, ETC. 
The many decorative i)urposes for which Ornamental Grasses are adapted have, for some years past,, 
wonderfully increased the demand for them, and each succeeding year brings some novelty in form or 
size, or in the graceful disposition of the panicles and pleasing colour of the plumes. Amongst the 
tall varieties are many whose graccfirlly drooping leaves, and erect and noble inflorescence fit thenr 
especially for the Sub-tropical Garden ; for in.stairce, Arundo conspicua, EHanlhns Ilavemicc, Gyne- 
ritim arycntciim, many varieties of the Holcus, and the majestic and new Aridropogoii formosjm are 
all efteetive where a sub-tropical appearance is required. Othei-s arc particularly neat and compact in 
habit, and are most suitable for pot culture, edgings and centres of beds. Many are very curious — all 
are beautiful. When dried and tastefully arranged they make exceedingly attractive bou<iuets, very 
useful in winter when flowers arc scarce. Mu. William Biill’.s collection includes all cultivateib 
varieties ; and when the selection is left to himself, it will be necessary only to mention for what xnir- 
pose they arc required, and the number of species to be sent.
