Mammillaria. (Neomammillaria). Dump¬ 
ling Cactus, Fish Hook Cactus, Pin 
Cushion Cactus. This is one of the most 
numerous and desirable groups for 
household culture. Relatively they are 
all small plants. There are globular 
single headed kinds and tall much 
branched ones. A large group of glo¬ 
bular, straight spined ones has milky 
sap. There is a great variety in spine 
patterns and colorings. Usually the 
flowers are small, though this is often 
compensated by their brilliance. Sev¬ 
eral months after flowering most kinds 
bear brilliant red fruits which hang on 
for weeks. They grow readily in pots 
and because of their small size a great 
many may be grown in a small window 
garden. This group prefers a light 
shade to the open sunshine. We are 
listing seedlings of some of our fine 
new discoveries in Lower California, 
Mexico, but the best species of all is not 
yet ready to offer.
