1 HAVE always been much attracted by this 
enormously interesting group of spiny 
Cacti who have conquered the burning 
wastes of our great deserts. They grow easily 
in pots and seem to thrive where other plants 
would die. Many of them are noted for their 
handsome flowers for often the more difficult 
the conditions under which a plant grows the 
more necessary that it have bright blossoms 
to attract the few insects. A great number 
of new and free flowering kinds have recently 
been discovered in South America where long, 
arduous expeditions are being made into the 
little known hinterland. Traveling for hundreds 
of miles by muleback into these forgotten 
wastes, collectors are searching for new 
species, bringing out a whole Pandora's box 
of treasures for the fireside collector. The 
romance of these journeys can never fully 
be told. 
REBUTIA MINUSCULA 
(Natural Size) 
The Rebutias are renowned for their freedom of 
bloom. They are dwarf plants 1 to 2 inches in 
diameter with soft harmless spines and bright 
green bodies. The flowers are produced from un¬ 
derneath the plant, thus differing from almost all 
others. The little plant figured is almost freer in 
bloom than the plate shows for around it you 
would find crimson, naked buds in all stages of 
development. They are cluster forming, the young 
plants piling up about the mother, making splen¬ 
did specimens. 75c. Larger $1.00 and $1.50.
