EREUS are the stately beauties of the cactus world. They are 
of the easiest culture thriving in small pots. Among them are 
found the huge moon-flowered Queen of the Night, the Giant 
Cacti reaching 60 feet in height, the tiny Peanut Cactus with thimble 
sized stems and scarlet blossoms and hundreds of others known to 
every cactus lover. Many of them clamber in the trees of tropic jungles, 
their huge silvery blossoms vying with the splendor of their orchid 
companions. Others are found in the burning solitudes of our vast 
deserts, while still others climb high among the peaks of the Andes. 
A collection of these will be the envy of your friends.

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT 
(Selenicereus Macdonaldiae)

cactus are among the largest in the family, and I have 
measured them 14 inches across! The outside petals are 
pale yellow curving back to form almost a globe. The 
throat is snowy white with a cluster of powdery stamens. 
They are produced on long slender snake-like arms which 
may be wound around and around a small trellis. During 
the year we have had scores of blooms on small plants. 
Give them somewhat the same treatment Cflc 
as a Boston Fern. OU
