CACTI. 
There is scarcely a month in the year that a fine show of flowers cannot be 
had from a collection of eacti. About the middle of February the Mamillarias 
put forth their dainty circles of flowers, and are soon followed by the Echin- 
opsis with their large, satiny, funnel-shaped blooms, after which the brilliant 
Phyllocactus bursts into bloom. The grand night bloomers, C. Grandiflora, 
C. McDonaldi 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 magnificent 
flowers. 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 col- 
lections for customers who prefer to leave it to me. Choice collection of a 
dozen pretty varieties, sent by mail, $2 to $5; two dozen pretty varieties, $5 
to $9. Extra large splendid plants, prices on application.
