Neomammillaria. (Mammillaria). Dump¬ 
ling Cactus, Fish Hook Cactus, Pin 
Cushion Cactus. This is one of the 
most numerous and desirable groups. 
Relatively they are all small plants. 
Some are globular and single headed, 
while others are tall and much branch¬ 
ed. A large group of straight spined 
ones has milky juice. There is a great 
variety in spine patterns and colorings. 
Usually the flowers are small, though 
this deficiency is often overcome by 
brilliant colorings. Several months after 
flowering most kinds bear brilliant red 
fruits that hang on for weeks. They 
grow readily in pots and owing to their 
small size a great many may be grown 
in a small window garden. This group 
prefers a slight shade to the open sun.
