Cactus From Seed 
Growing cactus from seed is a very interesting 
undertaking. The best soil in which to start these 
seeds is a thoroughly decomposed sod broken up 
and screened with an equal amount of sand added. 
It is most important that good drainage be pro¬ 
vided in preparing the pans or pots for the seed. 
Full cultural directions will be sent with each 
packet of seed.

lightly. Water very lightly and keep them only moist. Transplant the small plants 
into small pots and later into large pots.
