Talk's Head. 
(Echlnopsia Eyriesii.) 
A splendid cactus, and one of the most 
beautiful when in flower. It will blossom 
when quite young. The white flowers are 
very large and highly perfumed. Many of 
the blooms measure over a foot inlcngth. 
This is one of the grandest of the Mexi- 
can collection, and should be in every or- 
der. 35o. each. 
The Qaeen. 
( Phyllocaotns Latifrons.) > 
This is certainly the handsomest of 
all the Cacti, and should be grown by 
every lover of flowers. It is by far the 
finest pot plant in the entire collection of 
these rare varieties, and possesses the 
great advantage of growing in almost 
any situation, and does not require as 
much sunlight as mo."* of the Cacti. The 
flowers are a perfect marvel of beauty, 
many of the blossoms measuring over 
two and one-half feet in circumference, 
end are composed of hundreds of small 
petals, which are a pure white on the in- 
side, while the outside is a creamy yellow. 
Our illustration is made from a photo- 
graph of a plant which had over fifty 
flowers open at one time, and it -was in- 
deed a grand sight. It may be grown in 
any kind of good soil and requires no 
special treatment. Do not fail to secure 
the Queen this season, as we are ofiering 
It at a very low price. 85c. each.

These wonderfol plants are now as popular as orchids. 
T l^"', '■^l"''-'^ "° '^^■•e when once 
started. They will thrive in almost any warm room in the 
house, and live for months without any water. Their odd 
appearance and large blossoms of almost every shade and 
color .magmable n-^ver fail to attract attention wherever 
seen. The flowers, besides being large and bright, are 
exceedmgly fragrant, rivaling the La France rose i.^ the 
richness of their peri-„me. A great many people think 
Cact, do noc bloom freely ; this is a mistake, as many vari- 
et^s blossom when only one or two inchts high 
f-iZl season only the choicest varieties, and 
those which wUl give our patrons perfect satisfaction.
