• RATTAIL CACTUS. The Rattail 
Cactus is an old favorite both for its 
beautiful Fucshia-like rose flowers 
and its pendant tail-like branches. In 
early summers the blossoms appear 
studding the drooping stems. The 
plant consists of a cluster of pencil¬ 
like stems from 6 inches to a foot 
or more long which prefer to hang 
downward. They are thickly covered 
with short golden brown, harmless 
spines. An old house plant of 50 
years’ standing. 25c each. It shows 
off best when grafted on the snake 
cactus which allows its stems to hang 
naturally. Grafted plants 6" to 8".
