ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
The annual varieties are principally grown 
for their beautiful flower panicles which 
when dried are useful for bouquet work. 
Perennial varieties are valuable for borders 
or massed between shrubs or on the lawn. 
Sow outside in May, transplant or thin 
out when large enough to handle. If 
flower-heads are cut before they are ripe, 
they will keep for a long period.
