ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
For convenience, these Grasses are listed 
under perennials. They may be used as back- 
grounds for Perennials and as screens, but are 
most effectively used in clumps along streams 
or as backgrounds for pools. The fluffy, sil- 
very plumes are most effective in the garden, 
but are useful for indoor decoration, where 
they can be kept from one season to the next
