FLOWER GARDENS MAKE HOMES OUT OF HOUSES 
ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
The ornamental Grasses serve the double pur¬ 
pose of rendering the mixed flower-bed or border 
attractive during the summer and for the use of 
the spikes or panicles in a dried state in winter 
bouquets. For large beds or groups on lawns 
nothing gives a finer effect, and they are now 
largely used in prominent position in many of 
the finest public parks, etc. The following are 
the most popular varieties.
