QUEEN CACTUS 
This deliciously Iragrant night blooming cactus blooms all 
summer long. One of the easiest to grow of all cacti. OELc 
Thrives as a room or porch plant. 
S EEDLING CACTI. To the cactus fancier it is unnecessary 
to state the superiority of my clean, vigorous rooted 
seedlings over collected wild plants. Our plants, grown 
under nursery conditions, are easily transplanted and grow 
freely and quickly. When you receive them note their healthy, 
heavy root systems. Plants collected on the deserts are diffi¬ 
cult to establish for they are accustomed to the heat and 
drought of their native haunts. Seedling plants are perfect 
specimens unmarred by the ravages of insects and weather. 
Our seedlings are grown under ideal conditions with plenty 
of California sunshine to prevent soft, sappy growth and to 
develop an abundance of roots. When shipped each plant is 
more than one year old, often two or three, and of good size 
for its particular species. 
SOME BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING CACTI 
Many of the easiest cacti to grow have handsome flowers. 
In Europe many of them are commonly seen growing in pots 
on the window ledge. The Rattail, Xmas Cactus and the 
Phyllocacti were brought back by seafaring men a hundred 
years ago and have since been favored for their striking 
blooms. Be the first in your community to adopt these wan- 
derers.
