The most effective and stately of all the Ornamental Grasses, producing a grand effect oa the lawn with its graceful foliage and silvery plumes ; the latter are produced on stems 8 to 10 feet high, in upward of forty, on well-established plants that remain in the open ground from year to year with protection. This is best done by tying the tops together and enclosing in a flour barrel, with top open and space packed out with straw or leaves, earthing up the soil well around the outside of barrel; or it can be removed to a cellar and replanted in the spring. Re- quires a rich and deep soil. The plumes, when cut before they fully expand and dried in the shade, make handsome parlor ornaments for winter decoration. 25 to 50 cts. Extsa strong plants for immediate effect can be furnished from $1 to $2 each. Gyxebium Argenteum Carminatum Rendatleri. The flower stems are 10 feet high, crowned with immense silvery white plumes, tinged with pink. 50 cts. to $2 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 Henry A.
