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 atten¬ 
tion among Cactus admirers. The soil we prefer 
for their culture is a mixture of rich loam, thor¬ 
oughly decomposed cow manure and coarse sand 
in equal proportions. This must be well drained 
by mixing 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. 
Bicolor. Flowers between 2 and 3 inches long, 
petals bright rosy purple, spines all the colors of 
the rainbow, a most beautiful little plant. Each 
35c to $1.00. 
Brevihamatus. Color very dark green, flowers 
yellow, spines shaded from pure white to brown, a 
handsome variety. Each 50c to $1.00. 
Capricomis. (See cut.) A most interesting 
variety, even handsomer and more distinct than 
the "Bishop’s Hood,” being a better bloomer; has 
fine markings of white spots all over its surface, 
which gives it a clean, neat appearance; the flow¬ 
ers are yellow, of good size, freely produced. 
Each 50c to $1.50. 
Cofnigereus. This is a beautifully formed plant 
with very broad, flat, blood-red spines, curved 
sharply at the end. It has pretty purple flowers.

erts, with long interlacing spines, bright yellow, 
crimson and blood red in color. One of the most

golden colored transparent spines, which closely 
cover the plant, giving it a bright, clean, distinct 
appearance; has beautiful red and yellow flowers. 
Each $2.00 to $5.00. 
Echinocactus Capricornis. 
Horizonthalonius. A handsome species of a 
beautiful gray color, quite distinct. The flowers 
are funnel shaped, purplish-pink, the sepals being 
tipped with a darker shade of purple, which have 
a pretty effect when open in the sunlight. Each

canary yellow flowers with red center, followed by 
red berries. Each 25c to 50c.
