UNIOLA (Spike Grass). U. latifolia is a native species which makes an attractive border plant, growing usually from ^ to 3 feet high. The leaves are broad and arching, about an inch wide; the spikelets are drooping on long pedicels. This Grass starts early into growth. Propagation. One of easiest to propagate by division. ZIZANIA (Wild Rice). Z. paluslris (aquaiica) is an annual species and can be depended upon to make a fine showing near the margins of Lily ponds, but the flower heads should be cut off before the seed ripens, otherwise we will have more plants than we want and it is apt to become a weed. The species known nsZizania lati- folia is a perennial plant and is not apt to become a weed, because it is seldom seen in flower. When planted near the edge of the pond it can be kept under control. Our native species behaves as an annual. Z. latifolia increases very fast from underground rhizomes, and is, if anything, the most ornamental of the two. It is a very popular food for wild game and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Oliver, George Watson, 1858-1923; Hottes, Alfred Carl, 1891-1955.
