Yucca 
Bamboos , Ornamental Grasses and Yuccas 
The use of this class of plants is almost indispensable as landscape material around Spanish types 
of houses, rock gardens, etc., and they are ornamental wherever used. They are easy to transplant and 
thrive under adverse conditions but will respond readily to cultivation. Plant in good soil at about the 
same depth as they were growing in the nursery row, using plenty of water to soak the dirt around 
their roots. Tramp firmly around them and afterwards pull up loose dirt to prevent excessive evapora¬ 
tion as with any other plant.
