An annual which produces plumes by midsummer. 
This is undoubtedly one of the most ornamental decor 
ative grasses ever introduced, and will be tound as useful 
for room, hall, or table decoration as many a palm, while 
haying the advantage of rapid and vigorous growth, and 
being easier to manage. ' 
Its graceful, narrow curving leaves produced by the 
hundreds in succession, are overtopped by most elegant 
purple feather plumes a foot long, which by themselves 
are quite ornamental as vase decorations and can also 
be used for dry grass bouquets. 
Sown as late as March, it makes a bold plant, unlike 
any other in the garden, always a feature of attraction. 
If grown m pots, no one could wish for anything more 
graceful. This novelty has been greatly admired wher- 
ever shown. Pkt., 5c.
