CARTERS’ SEEDS 
OF 
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES FOR WINTER 
DECORATION. 
Most of the varieties of Ornamental Grasses were Included In our gpreat Annual Collection of Flowers, etc., Brown 
from seed, and exhibited by us in the Gardens of the Royal Botanic Society. They make charming Pot Plants to mingle 
with the brighter colours of Flowering Plants in the Conservatory. 
Cultivation. — Sow in a cold frame in February or March, and prick off into 6-inch or larger pots (about 4 to 6 plants in a 
pot) when the seedlings are sufficiently large, and protect from winds and heavy rain. 
BRIZA ROTUNDATA (New). 
This novelty differs from all exisiing sorts of Briza by 
its erect flower-spikes, and is a splendid acquisition to 
the collection of Ornamental Grasses used in Bouquets. 
It attains a height of about 2 feet, and the heads of 
bloom are borne on long and firm stalks. Very useful 
either in the green or dried state. 
No. 1552— Price, in sealed packets, is. 6d. per pkt. 
EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 
No. 123— Price, in sealed packets, is. 6d, 
per packet. 
MELICA ALTISS1MA ATRO-PURPUREA(New). 
This new and exceedingly pretty grass will form a nice 
addition to the collection of Bouquet Grasses. It will also 
be found very effective when planted in groups or as a 
solitary clump on lawns. The foliage is somewhat pendant, 
and the flower-stalks are thrown well above the spikes of 
dark brown silvery bloom.
