at intervals during the year (when large) 
but comes out in a perfect glory of blos- 
som in March and April. The tube meas- 
ures 6 inches in length and the semi-dou- 
ble flowers are 4 to 5 inches across. They 
aré most lovely pure satin pink, the 
throat lined with numerous white silken 
stamens. For cactus beds outside in Cali-

white flowers, semi-double, satiny with

tus lover. They are most effective for 
borders of cactus beds outside, and in the 
spring when at their best blooming period
