COLORADO HARDY CACTI 
will produce maximum performance in flow¬ 
ering, and neither in this respect nor in 
price are they to be compared with “col¬ 
lected” stock. 
Prices. Cactus plants are not priced pre¬ 
paid, as I wish to feel free to select the 
largest specimens that your purchase will 
warrant. Small plants can be included with 
mail shipments at no extra charge if re¬ 
quested, but the larger specimens are not 
practically mailable. Express shipment is 
recommended.

laria.) Low and small, dark green, gray
