Gacti. 



There is scarcely a month in the 

 year that a fine show of flowers can- 

 not be had from a collection of cacti. 



About the middle of February the 

 Mamillarias put forth their dainty 

 circles of flowers, and are soon fol- 

 lowed by the Echinopsis with their 

 large, satiny, funnel-shaped blooms, 

 after w T hich the brilliant Philoeereus 

 burst into bloom. The grand night 

 bloomers, C. Grandiflora, C. Mc 

 Donaldi and Phyllocactus Latifrons 

 commence blossoming in April. The 

 Echinocactus comes on about the 

 same time. All through the months 

 of August. September and October, 

 C. Triangularis opens its magnifi- 

 cent flowers. The Opuntias also 

 troop in, so that with a collection 

 containing a variety, Cacti can be 

 had in bloom nearly all the year. I 

 will take pleasure in selecting large 

 or small collections for customers 

 w r ho prefer to leave it to me. Choice 

 collection of a dozen pretty varieties, 

 sent by mail. $3 to -15; two dozen 

 pretty varieties, $5 to $9. I can fur- 

 nish extra large, splendid plants.
