EUPHORBIA, L.— Wolf's-milk or Milkweeds. 
Although not a cactus, they are, especially the succulent ones, generally 
grouped among cacti, and this with right, not alone, that in this family we 
have one of the largest varieties (more than three thousand five hundred var. 
are known) ; it is one of the most variable formed class. They are found 
all over the world, but most varieties, with their fantastic succulent growth, 
we find in the tropics of the old world. Here we find in this group resem- 
bling any class of cactus, not with spines, but all forms; cord-like growth, like 
rhipsalis, round and globular shapes, like opuntias and mamillarias, others 
again growing like cereus and gigantic candelabres or trees. While we 
miss on all euphorbias the spines as cactus have, they are here indicated with 
thorns, of which some varieties have them two and three inches long and three- 
sixteenth inch diameter. Not alone do we cultivate the majority of those 
plants for their simetric, also fantastic forms, some of them bear magnificent 
red blooms, flowering in winter, which makes them very valuable ; some flower 
the whole year through. They thrive best in a rather light soil, leave mold, 
good garden soil and sand mixed in even parts, to which a little charcoal is 
added. They are clean plants, not infested with mealy bugs or other insects.
