HINTS ON CACTUS PROPAGATING IN THE GREENHOUSE 
Cacti for pot sales should be potted as soon as received in half and half sand and loam—a tablespoonful of lime to a shovel of compost. 
Cut the roots to short stubs. Plenty of water, full sun and heat will plump and brighten them up in a week. Opuntia cuts should be run 
dry for ten days. When growing, feed liquid manure. Slow growers should be grafted into Acanthacereus stock. We offer for this purpose 
Acanthacereus Gigantea; plants at 40c, and cuts at 25c per foot, up to 2% ft. Cut into 12 inch lengths, dip cut ends in lime and set in bare¬ 
ly moist sand till rooted—full temperature. Pot in % heavy loam and 14 sand. Full water, heat and sun, like any other tropical plant. 
Trim away all spines carefully. When growing, graft on any slow-growing cactus. Growth will be accelerated fifty times. Rare asthro- 
phytums, cephelocerei, selenicerei, echinopsis, “rat tai’,” gru onii (Golden ball) etc., may be grown to great profit. Graft when both cuts are 
fresh. Fasten by rubber bands. The Opuntias need no grafting. Place cuts in half sand and rotted manure, with lime. Keep warm and 
they will grow cuts all winter. We offer the best collection of rare cuts listed anywhere.

We are the originators of the new ELYWAY process of planting cacti in sealed-in handmade, ornamental containers; in soil espec¬ 
ially prepared to produce a healthy but dwarfish growth—thus preventing leakage of soil, rotting of plant, requiring the minimum of care 
(SUBMERGED IN WATER 20 MINUTES WEEKLY)—eliminating the filthy flower pot and placing the cactus in a container as unique and 
ornamental as itself and producing beyond question. 
THE GREATEST OF ALL NOVELTIES 
The flood of re-orders we are receiving proves this. These containers are made of especially prepared, colored cement and are decorat¬ 
ed with shells, fossils, mineral crystals, etc., and practically unbreakable.
