C 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 com¬ 
panions. 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.
