Ornamental Grasses. 
'A 
The Ornamental Grasses form a very attractive and interesting class, their graceful and elegant forms and refreshing green colours giving 
a relief to the brilliancy of the more showy occupants of the flower garden. They can be gathered and dried in the same manner as 
Everlasting Flowers, and with the aid of dyes be mado to assume many charming colours that will add greatly to their usefulness 
and attractiveness throughout the "Winter season, and in combination with Everlasting Flowers, made up into Winter Bouquets, 
they form elogant and pleasing ornaments for the drawing-room. For this purpose the Brizas, Agroslis nebulosa, A. pulchella, 
A. mbnutiflora, Hordeum jubatum, and Lagurus ovatus, are admirably suited. Qynerium argenteum is a grand variety, and 
undoubtedly the most noble of all tho Ornamental Grasses for outsido decoration, and as a single specimeu on a lawn is unrivalled. 
It is perfectly hardy and will thrive in almost any soil or situation, but delights mostly in that which is near a lake, river, fountain, 
or any ornamental piece of water. Isolepis tenella forms a beautiful little pot plant for the greenhouse or window'.
