by the long tubular or funnel-like flowers produced from the side of the stem, 
instead of near the summit, as in the Hedgehog Cactus.

beautiful when in flower. Stem very regularly globular. Flowers 6 to 8 
inches long, like a curved funnel, and 4 to 5 inches across the mouth, 
formed by numerous tapering white petals spreading symmetrically. The 
delicious fragrance possessed by the flowers is very powerful and most pleas- 
ing. Price 25 cts. to $1.50.

its large, elegant, satiny pink flowers. It is a splendid bloomer, and the 
flowers are very large and beautiful. It grows very rapidly, and blooms the 
second year, beginning in early spring and blooming at intervals for months.

Echinocereus. 
Easily characterized by the regularity and beauty of spines, the dwarfish, 
cylindrical stems, and brilliancy of coloring. The flowers last for a long 
period, the plants are profuse bloomers, and comparatively hardy and easy of -

angled, with short spines. The sweetly-fragrant flowers are nearly four inches 
across, bright purple and showy. An elegant species. 30 cts.

the differently colored spines, w hich range from creamy white to deep crim- 
son, usually in alternate rings around the plant. This network of brilliantly 
colored spines renders the plant ornamental at all times, but when crowned 
with a circlet of large crimson flowers, four inches across, with a white cen- 
ter, the plant is truly gorgeous. 25 cts. to $1.00 each.
