CACTUS 5EED. 



I offer some very choice Cactus seed which can be easily grown by any one 

 having patience and enthusiasm; the seeds germinate readily and are interesting in 

 all stages. 



They should be planted in boxes filled with sand, and kept covered with glass 

 until plants are well established; they should never be allowed to become dry, nor 

 ever be overwatered.
