ORNAMENTAL GRASSES FOR DECORATIONS. 
Cultivation . — The annual varieties should be sown out of doors during April where they are intended to 
flower, or for earlier work sow under glass and plant out. The perennial varieties are best sown during summer, 
and planted out in borders in spring. The flower heads should be cut in a young stage and hung upside down 
to dry, as they are then more lasting for decorative purposes.
