Verlinden is located in San Jose, CA and has a web site.
Verlinden mostly makes diorama accessories in both resin and white metal. This set is an exception to that.
It is very short fibers in grass green color. I haven't a clue as to what these fibers are of ???
Anyway, you put a mixture of Elmer's white glue and water on your diorama base and then sprinkle these fibers on. The static charge they pick up tends to stand the fibers on end then, like growing grass. I have done one or two dioramas in the past using static grass by other companies.
This static grass comes packaged in a clear cello bag stapled to a header card.

I got this and a lot of other VLS Verlinden resin and white metal sets from a deceased modeling friend that willed me very many sets and models when he died of cancer years ago.
