While the " Australasian " of June 10th, 18S9, says :—" The Fairy Grasßof the Himalayas will become, perhaps, the most popular of all the ornamental species." As we predict & large demand for the Fairy Grass, intending purchasers should book their orders early to entnre their being fulfilled. Per plant 2a. Budbeckia, "Golden Glow." .
