POA TRIVIALIS ARGENTEA ELEGANS. 
SILVER-LEAVED MEADOW GRASS. 
This plant is commended as one of the most useful and beautiful varieties of hardy Grasses, with 
silvery white margined leaves, yet introduced to gardens. It is strictly a perennial in habit, forming a 
remarkably dense and cpmpaet mauy-branched growth from the base; and by its natm-al and free 
tendency to emit roots upon the under shoots, it makes a close yet gracefully free growth from four to 
nine inches in height, and with a luxuriance which renders it suitable for grass-irlots, verges, or terraces, 
covering the ground surface with a herbage as close as an ordinary meadow, wliilst its elegant variegated 
leaf-blades produce an effect upon a much larger scale than can be had from any other silver-leaved gra^. 
By forming ornamental portable specimens and smspended basket groups of this variety in the early 
winter and spring months for conservatory and greenhouse decoration, it will at those seasons be found 
by far the most brilliant and picturesque plant in its tribe. 
No other plant yet introduced is so admirably adapted as the present one for margined effect, or as 
a belt fon conservatory decoration on a large scale.
