ECHINOPSIS. 
Cereus Macdonaldae. 
This large flowering hardy genus is the most useful 
for growing in city gardens, being of a strong ro¬ 
bust constitution, thriving equally well planted 
along side geraniums in the flower border or in 
pots as window cacti. 
E. Eyriesil. — (See cut.) White flowers 6 to 8 in¬ 
ches long like a curved funnel and 4 to 5 inches

flowers is very pleasing and most powerful. Each

ored flowers remaining open for a week, very 
fragrant. Each 25c to 50c.

inches across the mouth when fully expanded, 
color a delicate rose, deeper towards the apex.

almost yellow and borne very freely. Each 25c 
to $1.00; cuttings 15c. 
C. Serpentinus. —In appearance something like 
Colubrinus. Each 50c to $1.00. 
E CHINO CACTUS. 
The " Hedgehog Cactus.” A large genus and most 
beautiful of the order, the grotesque appearance 
of the plants, crowned as they are at times with 
their large flowers, renders them objects of much 
attention. The soil must be well drained by mix¬ 
ing small lumps of charcoal and broken pots with 
the earth, and by placing a layer of the same 
material at the bottom of the pot. 
Echinocactus capricornis. 
E. bicolor. — Flowers 2 to 3 in. long, petals bright 
rosy purple, spines rainbow colored, a most beau¬ 
tiful plant. Each 35c to $1.00. 
Echinopsis Eyriesii. 
E. oxygonus. —Very large flowers from well-grown 
plants have measured 8 in long by 4 inches in 
diameter. In color the outer part of tube is cur¬ 
iously marked with green and red, the petals be¬ 
ing white, stained with red on the margins. Each 
25c to $1.00. 
ECHINOCEREUS. 
This class of cacti with its gorgeous flowering stems, 
appeals strongly to cactus lovers. Though not so 
vivid in spine-coloring as Echinocactus or Mamil- 
laria, still this deficiency is more than offset in 
the superior size, color and texture of its flowers. 
E. Berlandieri. —A fine dwarf basket plant, bear¬ 
ing large clusters of fragrant purple colored 
flowers. Each 25c to 50c. 
E. candicans.— -The "Rainbow Cactus.” A beau¬ 
tiful plant, flowers magenta, white, orange and 
green, measuring 3 to 4 inches in diameter, and 
the spines ranging in color from creamy white to 
deep red. Each 50c to $1.00.
