ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 
The many decorative purposes for which Ornamental Grasses are adapted has fot- 
some years past wonderfully increased the demand for them, and each succeeding 
year brings some novelty in form, size, or graceful disposition of the panicles and 
pleasing colour of the plumes. Amongst the tall varieties are many whose graceful 
drooping leaves, and erect and noble-looking spikes, fit them especially for the Sub- 
tropical Garden ; for instance, Arundo conspicua , Eriantlius Ravenna:, Gynerium argen- 
teum, many varieties of the Holcus, and the majestic and new Andropogon formosus 
are all effective where a sub-tropical appearance is required. Others are particularly 
neat and compact in habit, and are most suitablo for pot culture, edgings, and centtes 
of beds. Many are very curious— all are beautiful — and when dried and tastefully 
arranged make exceedingly attractive bouquets, very useful in winter when flowers 
are scarce. Mr. William Bull’s collection includes all cultivated varieties ; and when 
the selection is left to himself, it will be necessary only to mention for what purpose 
thev are required, and the number of species to be sent.
