Ornamental Reeds and Grasses 
T HERE are few things more effective in landscape work than this class of plants. They are 
strong, rapid growers in almost any soil. During the close of summer they come into 
bloom and are most showy and ornamental with their large flower-plumes. The Arundos 
are straight and erect, the Grasses slender and graceful. Both are excellent for bedding; 
each is equally well suited for mixed plantings of any kind. They annually increase in beauty and 
give so much satisfaction that we do not hesitate recommending them for more extensive use. 
Prices, strong clumps, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100.

ARUNDO Donax. (Great Reed). A tall, bam¬ 
boo-like plant, with long, green narrow

also looks well in shrubbery plantings.
