ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 
Ornamental grasses have a variety of uses. Their foliage, 
in varying shades of green, is desirable for mass and border 
planting, for combining with other plant material and for 
ground-covers and pot plants. We offer here the grasses most 
suitable for growing in this locality. 
CORTADERIA SELLOANA. Silver Pampas Grass. A clump grass with 
long, graceful, gray-green foliage and large, silvery white plumes in 
the fall, often 2 feet long. Good in shrubbery borders and especially 
fine with massed clumps of bamboos and other ornamental grasses. 
CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS. Umbrella Grass. Tall round stems 
topped with umbrella-like expanded foliage. Very effective in nat- 
uralistic pool plantings and is also used as an aquarium or pool plant. 
May be grown as a house plant if it is kept quite moist. A most un- 
usual and pleasing plant. 
LIRIOPE GRAMINIFOLIA. Low-growing grass for the border. 
Rather broad, dark green foliage and clusters of lavender flowers re- 
sembling the grape hyacinth. Recommended for edgings, ground- 
cover effects, and for planting in shady places where it is difficult to 
make plants grow. 
OPHIOPOGON JAPONICA. Low-growing grass with very narrow, 
dark green leaves. Used as a ground-cover for shady spots or for low 
borders. Evergreen. The maximum height is 8 to 10 inches and the 
plant stands dry conditions well. It is popular for formal edgings 
for walks and beds.
