A strange group of plants, noted f(ir their odd shapes, 
equipment of stiff, barbed spines, flowers of unrivaled 
brilliancy, and powers of resisting extremes of drought 
and cold. They will not endure stagnant moisture at 
the roots, however, especially in winter, and a dry 
situation on banks or in the rockery is, therefore, 
desirable, and they thrive in a sandy or rocky limestone 
soil. Hardy Cacti are remarkably free from disease and 
insect pests. We offer some of the best species known.
