Ornamental Grasses. 
FOR BEDDING PURPOSES. 
The following grasses and reeds are splendid for making tropical-looking beds and groups, and being entirely hardy and 
of the easiest culture, require but little attention after planting. The Eulalias grow from four to six feet high, and the Arundo 
Donax, in very rich soil, will grow ti be sixteen feet high. These plants make splendid beds, and should be generally culti¬ 
vated. There are two notably fine beds of them in this country, one in the IJ. S. Botanic Gardens at Washington and the 
other in the grounds of the late Geo. \V. Childs, Esq., near Philadelphia, and there is nothing more striking in either grounds. 
Eulalia Japonica Variegata, green and white variegations, $1.25 per 
dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 
Eulalia Zebrina. variegations across the leaf; very odd, $1.25 per dozen ; 
$6.00 per 100. 
Eulalia Gracillima, a new variety of extremely beautiful and graceful 
habit ; should be always planted on outside of bed or group. $1.25 
per dozen ; $6.00 per 100. 
Erianthus Ravennae. a strikingly beautiful hardy grass, growing 
about 12 feet high. 35 cents each ; $3.50 per dozen ; $20.00 per 100. 
Arundo Donax, of very striking appearance; will grow 16 feet high in 
rich soil. $3.00 per dozen; $20.00 per 100. 
Arundo Donax Variegata, a beautiful variety of the above, with variega¬ 
tion of white; grows 5 to 8 feet, $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.
