41 R A Re • CACTUS 



Cactus require absolutely no care. They 

 grow for months in the house or garden without 

 watering, and increase in value yearly. No won- 

 der they have become all the rage, for their 

 flowers, which are of exquisite beauty and 

 fragrance, and their curious forms, render 

 them exceedingly interesting. In winter they 

 require scarcely any water.
