-HARDY CACTI 
Hardy Cactus plants, with their quaint and unusual forms are 
coming into favor for sunny, dry positions in the rock garden; 
on sunny banks; and for use in the solarium or sun porch. The 
plants listed below are hardy to zero or below. Only blooming 
size plants are sent out. 
Culture—Plant in well drained dry sandy soil in full sun. An 
alkaline or limestone soil is preferable. Water sparingly at all 
times. Being native of the northern Rocky Mountains, they will 
probably endure any cold liable in the North Eastern United States. 
Winter moisture is their worst enemy, so plant them in a raised 
sloping position, if possible, or protect them from overhead wet 
in winter.
