Special Collections of Cacti. 
The home of many if not quite all varieties of Cacti native to the United States is in 
the arid and mountainous regions of Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and 
Western Texas. Conditions of soil and climate being naturally favorable, the species 
from other countries, old Mexico and South and Central America, flourish and are of 
easy growth. Owing to these advantages, we are enabled to offer only first-class plants. 
In order to stimulate a keener interest and a wider appreciation of these denisons of 
the desert we have made up a couple of collections of our selection, as follows:
