Pelecyphora aselliforniis. stem short, cylindric, covered with 

 flattened tubercles, the place for the spines occupied by two rows 

 of honry scales which overlap, like the tiles of a roof; these 

 dainty, feather-like scales give this odd and very rare plant its 

 name, $1 to S2 



P. pectinata. Treated by botanists as a variety of the above; 

 same prices. 



Pilocereus senilis. The old man cactus attracts universal 

 attention, receiving its popular and very appropriate name from 

 the long, flexible, ivory white spines, giving the plant a most 

 grotesque appearance, like the top of an old man's head in 

 miniature. In Mexico it attains a height of 20 to 25 feet, 9 or 10 

 inches in diameter, its fluted character giving it somewhat the 

 appearance of an architectural column. When young the stems 

 are succulent, but with age the tissues become filled with 60 to 

 80 per .cent of small, sand-like grains of oxalate of lime; small 

 plants, 50c to Sio, according to size and beauty.
