Those who grow Everlastings for winter decoration will need a few of the Grasses to work 
up with them. They give an airy grace to bouquets of these flowers, and make also fine winter 
ornaments when used alone. They should be gathered when about coming into flower, and 
dried in the shade. Our little engravings will show the character of most of the varieties.
