GYNERIUM argenteum. Pampas Grass. This grass is not hardy 
enough in Dayton to offer to the general trade. Eriantlms Ravemuc 
is recommended as a satisfactory substitute. 
PENNISETUM Ruppellii. A beautiful annual ( not hardy ) ornamental 
grass, growing about 2‘> feet high, producing long, graceful cylin- 
drical purplisli plumes. An excellent ornamental plant for all bed- 
ding purposes, and the most appropriate we know of to use as an 
edging to a bed of cannas or as a border to a bed of hardy ornamen- 
tal grasses. 
P. longistylum. This new ornamental grass (not hardy) is a most val- 
uable addition to our list of ornamental grasses. It is of great value 
for bordering beds of cannas and caladiums. It grows to a height of 
2% feet, having plumes 12 inches in length. This variety is quite dis- 
tinct from Ruppellii. 
The above described Pennisetums are carried in our assortment to 
supply a demand, being among the few exceptions to our policy to 
carry hardy and semi-hardy plants only. 
PHALARIS aurundinacea picta. RmnoN Gkass ; Gardener’s 
Garters. A distinct v ariegated variety of a common native species, 
having its leaves elegantly striped with white. It is a low-growing 
plant, spreading in character and useful for garden decoration, being 
very ornamental when grown in the border. 
UNIOLA latifolia. Spike Grass. One of the finest of our native 
grasses, growing from 3 to 4 feet high, with very ornamental flat heads 
in graceful, drooping panicles.
