Opuntia Parryi. A small | 
clavate form with large brown and 
gray flat spines deflecting like the; 
ribs of an umbrella. Rare in col¬ 
lections and I believe not before on 
the market in its true form. Pro¬ 
cumbent or creeping habit, seldom 
more than four to six inches high 
and might well be mistaken for a 
cereus. Small single joints, 25 
cents, clusters 50 cents to Si.00. 
Opuntia TessellataCris- 
tata. Certainly a handsome and 
curious form. The stem or 
branches of the natural plant are 
small, and the little fans or cristate 
parts are only about half-inch to 
inch and a half across, but many of 
them on an old plant are a curious 
sight. Two or more fans with part 
of branch make a small but pretty 
plant. Price, according to number 
of fans, 50 cents to Si.00. 
E c h i nopsis IVI ul tiplex 
Cristata. Strangely contorted. 
50 cents to $1.00. 
E. Cylindraceus. Of this 
beautiful plant too much can¬ 
not be said. These plants differ 
greatly both in color and length 
of spines, some are bright red 
or pink, others light yellow and 
dove color. Price 25 cents and 50 
cents. 
A new variety with enormously 
elongated and twisted spines and 
beautiful color, large plants. Price 
51 .00 to $3-00. 
Cereus Formosus Mon¬ 
strous. One graft on CereusCol - 
ubrinus , $1.00, smaller on own 
root, 50 cents. 
O. Basilaris Monstrosus. 
Several forms widely differing. All 
curious and good Price 25 cents 
to Si .00. 
Ce reus F lagrelliformis 
Cristata. The Elk Horn cactus, 
one of the best and most curious, 
i Small grafts, rooted, soon grow to 
large proportions. Si.00 to $5.00. 
E. .Polycephalus. A fine 
and quite rare, heavy red spined 
sort growing naturally in large 
clusters, handsome young single 
plants, four to eight inches, Price, 
50 cents to Si .00. 
O. Echinocarpa. Treelike 
branching growth, round stems, 
with numerous.-glistening spines 
of various colors. Yellow, white, 
etc., rooted cuttings, Price 25c 
and 50 cents. 
Echinocactus Johnsonii. 
This rare and handsome plant has 
not before, I believe, been on the 
market in this country. Like E. 
Polyancistrus it grows in “out of 
the way” places, and has cost me 
much trouble to secure only a few. 
The spines are quite numerous and 
appear of nearly equal length, red¬ 
dish ash color turning, when wet, 
into deep red. Price $1 to $3. 
Astrophytum Myriostigr- 
ma or Bishops cap. A curious 
plant. 25 cents and 50 cents. 
Pelecyphora Assellifor- 
mis. So-called Hatchet cactus, 
a strange plant. 25c and 50 cents. 
Pelecyphora Pectinata. 
A pretty and rare cactus. 50 cents 
| and 75 cents. 
E. Whippleii. Of this rare 
plant I have only a limited stock 
as they are even more difficult to 
find than E. Polyancistrus, so that 
I can accept only conditional 
orders. The spines are some white 
flat and upright, others hooked. 
| Pricir $1 to $3.
