PEIRESKIA, Linn.— Dog Rose^ 
About twelve varieties, which may resemble anything else then a cactus. 
They grow in a shrub form, the branches bearing regular leaves, fleshy and 
persistent, and look very much like an orange tree, having red blossoms in 
style of a single or wild rose. Mostly used as stock for grafting purpose, as 
they make plenty of roots, and can stand a heavier and richer soil and a liberal 
supply of water.

PHYLLOCACTUS, Lk.— Leaf or Branching Cactus 
Some fifteen original known species, but, like the cereus, the beauty of 
blossom and ready response to intelligent care, has led to the production of 
very many upward of two hundred valuable hybreds by cross fertilization. 
The flowers, large and showy, range in color from light pink to rose and dark 
crimson^ and pure white to yellow. They include both day and night bloomers, 
are easily handled, and are the best bloomers and free-flowering of all the 
cactus. Some of the blossoms are deliciously fragrant. Those marked y are 
originals, all natives of Sbuth America, and are epiphytic, growing in large 
clusters on the branches of trees. All others listed are hvbreds.
