CARTERS’ SELECT ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHOICE FLOWERS. 
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES FOR WINTER DECORATION. 
Most of the varieties of Ornamental Grasses were included in our great Annual Collection of Flowers, etc., grown 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. 
In making up Winter Bouquets the Dried Grasses are greatly improved by an admixture of EVERLASTING FLOWERS. See page 85 
(Seeds) and page 126 (Dried Specimens). 
Gultiuation. — Sow in a cold frame in February or March, and prick off into 6-inch or larger pots (about 4 or 
6 plants in a pot) when the seedlings are sufficiently large, and protect from winds and heavy rain.
