Conditions Upon Which we Conduct Business 
The prices given in this list are for zvell-developed plants, of a character 
suitable for shipping, and well worth paying express or freight charges upon ! 
We wish particularly to state, however, that of nearly every item we have 
larger, also exhibition plants, 2ind upon receipt o^ inquiries, we are always 
glad to send full details as to any specimens desired, giving height, diameter, 
number of heads or branches, etc. In succulents, particularly, our stock in- 
cludes many noble specimens and oddities, obviously not properly mentionable 
in a catalogue, concerning which we are always ready to send complete in- 
formation. 
Photos (unmounted) of cacti as well as succulents will be furnished at 
cost price of five cents each, and it will be far better to select from photos than 
. from reproduction of woodcuts,made up from fixed drawings, generally found 
in catalogues of those kind of plants. 
In the prices quoted I would say that, while I have endeavored to con- 
fine myself to the lowest possible figures at which the various plants could 
be successfully handled, I have not descended to the petty trick of trying to 
attract customers by the offer of rare plants or such as are so slow of 
growth or reproduction as to be necessarily expensive, at prices at which 
noi reputable dealer could possibly furnish them. 
As for instance : Mam. lasiacantha is generally listed at from twenty cents 
to fifty cents. I would be willing to buy any quantity at one dollar each. This 
plant is one of the rarest Mamillaria's, and I am quite sure that not a half dozen 
of those plants could be found in private collections of the United States. 
The one generally offered under this name is Mam. plumosa. 
Cereus grandiUorus is of such slow growth, only making a shoot of from 
six to twelve inches every season, that it is impossible for any grower to sell 
or offer them at from fifteen cents up. — The very common Opuntia leucotricha 
is always listed under the catching name of 0. Senilis, on account of their 
gray-white bristles or spines. The true Opuntia Senilis, which is the quite 
rare O. crinifera also 0. Scheeri (crinifera, meaning hair carrying), having 
pure white hair as fine as silk, instead of spines, the older joints being so 
covered with them that the plant itself hardly can be seen. The more or less 
common Haworthia atfenuata generally goes under name of H. Margari- 
tifera. While the former may make of from six to twelve offsets during a 
season, it may take the latter of from one to five years to make one or two 
new offsprings. Therefore, you will see that no reputable dealer could offer 
H. Margaritifera at from fifteen to thirty-five cents each. Of such occur- 
ance I could name many more, but, space being limited, it will be enough 
said with above. 
All plants listed in this catalogue are well rooted and established 
plants free from insects and being at least six months to one year in my pos- 
session before sent out to customers, therefore, it is well worth to pay a trifle 
more than for fresh imported plants. I always have a fair supply of all listed
