These plumes or feathers are available for vase decora- tions or for dry grass bouquets. Seeds should be sown indoors, in April, in pots or shallow boxes, and the plants set out when danger of frost is past. The heads will be produced from July until frost, and the whole plant is eventually veiled in a purple cloud. This novelty has been greatly admired wherever shown. Blooms finely in pots. Pkt. 10c., plants 15c. Pennisetum Rueppellianum (Purple Feather Grass). Hebenstretia Comosa (New Italian Heliotrope). This is offered in no other catalogue. An entirely new variety of Heliotrope, with long spikes. A deli- cate lilac flower, much in the shape of Mignonette, and delightfully fragrant. It is a line garden plant, blooming the first year from seed. Seed per pkt.
