ERIANTHUS RAVENNA. 
Erianthus Ravennas, for gen¬ 
eral culture, is the best tall Or¬ 
namental Grass we arc ac¬ 
quainted with. It is almost as 
beautiful as the Pampas Grass, 
while its entire hardiness every¬ 
where must make it popular 
as its merits become known. 
It is propagated both by seeds 
and division of the roots. The 
flow’er stems arc often ten feet 
in height, and the feathery 
head about a foot. The roots 
arc robust, and we have never 
lost one by shipping. The 
Erianthus makes a grand clump 
for the side or back of the 
lawn, or among shrubbery. 
Erianthus Ravennae, per dozen. $3.00; each, 
Under the name of Dianthus we have the Carnation, 
Picotee and Pink ; elegant flowers, and of the most de¬ 
lightful fragrance. The Carnation usually has broad 
stripes, the Picotee narrow stripes, while the Pink is 
smaller with white ground, and dark margin and center. 
Carnations, strong plants, assorted colors; per 
dozen $5.00; each,. 50 
Picotees, assorted colors ; per doz. $5.00; each, 50 
Garden Pinks, white, with colored margin and 
center ; fragrant; quite hardy ; nothing belter 
for a button-hole flower; per doz., $3.50; each, 35 
GYPSOPHILA. 
Paniculata is one of the 
best Gypsophilas, the 
delicate flow’ers growing 
in large branching heads, 
as seen in the engraving, 
and make excellent trim¬ 
ming for bouquets, either 
green or dried, making a 
delicate net-work over the 
surface that all admire.
