the florets, the remainder being pure white. Flowers

stems."

Pierrot. "A unique and striking variety, the color 
being deep amber, boldly tipped with pure white. 
The flowers are very large, and we particularly rec- 
ommend that the plants be allowed to grow almost 
natural as regards thinning. The plants have a 
splendid habit." 
Note: This is another monster, especially when disbudded. It 
attracted great attention at all the shows where it was shown. 
Fascination. "A beauty, the flowers being of great 
size, with long incurving florets. Color, pure white 
in the center gradually deepening till a soft clear 
pink is reached towards the tips of florets. Plants of 
capital habit, producing flowers' freely." 
Irene Satis. "Plants have a free bushy style of 
growth. Flowers full in the center and of large size. 
The color is amber, deepening to bronze on the 
older florets. A capital all-round Cactus." 
Homer. Bright maroon very large, incurved flower, 
upright rigid stems of average length. A remarkably 
beautiful flower and the best dark cactus in ex- 
istence. 
F. W. Fellowes. "This variety produces huge flow- 
ers with surprising freedom. In addition to its phe- 
nomenal size it is grand in every way, the florets 
being narrow and so numerous as to allow of the 
blooms remaining full in the center until long past 
their prime. The plants have a capital style of 
growth, the flower stems being particularly wiry. 
Color bright orange scarlet throughout. Although 
not of incurved form this is a grand exhibition Cac- 
tus."
