Phyllocactus Phyllanthoides, German Empress. 
The beauty of this free-flowering Cactus can only be realized by seeing it in full bloom 
at which time it exceeds the expectation of the most enthusiastic grower, and carries so 
many flowers that it is impossible to see the foliage for bloom. It has attained its present 
excellence by the most careful hybridising, and the result of the attention paid to it has 
amply repaid the care bestowed upon it, and it now only remains to make it a horticultural 
success. It is astounding what a free bloomer it is, for a cutting will flower the first year, 
when two years old will have 20 to 2.i blooms, and at three years of age it produces from 40 
to 60, and even 80 flowers of a pleasing rich rose colour. The great feature of this extra- 
ordinary plant is that it can be used as a cut bloom for button holes and decorative pur- 
poses, and will keep in good condition for some days, which no other Cactus will do. 
Another great feature is that it is a very early as well as a free bloomer, and at a price that 
everyone may grow it. The exquisite beauty of this variety gained the approbation of 
both the Emperor and Empress of Germany when specimens were sent lor their inspection. 
1/6 and 2/6. 
ECH I NOCACTUS (The Hedgehog Cactus). 
This genus is one of the largest in the whole family, comprising upwards of 200 species 
and includes some of the most handsome and curious forms in this portion of the vegetable 
world. The flowers also in numerous species attain a considerable size, almost rivalling 
some of the Cereus, the most predominant colours being yellow, rose, and purple, while 
many are pure white, and frequently remain open for several days. 
K. SIMPvSONI, Hedgehog or Pincusliion Cactus. Thickly covered with short cim-ed and 
interlacing spines, varying much in colour even on the same plant ; often very dark 
purplish brown, more commonly with greyish spines mingled with dark ones, rarely 
with all the spines grey, yellowish or even snow white. All the forms are exceedingly 
beautiful, and have very handsome pink or rose coloured flowers, 5/-.
