ORNAMENTAL GRASSES, ETC. 
The many decorative purposes for which Ornamental Grasses are adapted have, for some years past, 
wonderfully increased the demand for them. Amongst the tall varieties are many whose gracefully 
drooping leaves, and erect and noble inflorescnce fit them especially for the Sub-tropical Garden ; for 
instance, Arundo conspicua, Erianthus Ravenna, Gyncriwm argenteum, and many varieties of the 
Holcus are effective when a sub-tropical appearance is required. Others are particularly neat and 
compact in habit, and are most suitable for pot culture, edgings, and centres of beds. When dried 
and tastefully arranged they make exceedingly attractive bouquets, very useful in winter when flowers 
are scarce.
