It is scarcely poMible to over-estimate the decorative qualities of Ornamental Grasses for the flower- 
garden and shrubberies ; some are exceedingly graceful, others neat and compact in growth ; some, again, 
curious, while there are others stately and majestic in appearance, the Holcus and Maize, for example. 
Jn th^r cultivation thejileinis should be so thinned out as to allow Jor individual development. 
All the grasses may be gathered and dried for winter decoration ; but ns some are better adapted for 
tnat purpose than others, we recommend the collection we offer for “Winter Bouquets.” 
enumerated Iiave been flowered in our Experimental Grounds last summer, and are 
tnose which we have selected as most desirable for the purposes above-named. 
In some establishments a special piece of ground is devoted to Ornamental Grasses, and we have 
known in such places these GRASS GARDENS to be a source of greater interest to visitors than the 
flower garden with all its charms.
