Daniels Bros., Norwich, Spring, 1892. 
Ornamental Grasses. 
The Ornamental Grasses form a very attractive and interesting class, their graceful and elegant forms and refreshing green colours giving 
a relief to tho brilliancy of the more showy occupants of the flower garden. They can bo gathered and dried in the same manner as 
Everlasting Flowers, and with tho aid of dyes be made 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 elegant and pleasing ornaments for the drawing-room. For this purpose the Brizas, Agrustis nebulasa, A. pulvhMa, 
A. minutifiora, Horcleum jubatum, and La-gurus ovatus, are admirably suited. Qynerium argent-rum is a grand variety, and 
undoubtedly the most noble of all the Ornamental Grasses for outside decoration, and as a single specimen 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.
