A. H. Alverson’s Cactus Catalogue. 
SPECIAL OFFER NO. I. 
There are many people who, for various good reasons, had 
rather have small cuttings or very small plants than the full sized 
and otten high priced specimens. There are many sorts from 
which cuttings or small offsets can be taken, and there are also 
sometimes found very small plants, often too small to be typical 
or show character of the species, but healthy and well rooted, 
which with a little growth will develop into fine specimens. Of 
these cuttings and small plants I offer many plants in this cata¬ 
logue at the uniform price of ten cents each, in lots of not less than 
ten, assorted, or of one kind, as preferred — provided I have such 
on hand ; if not, I will make up the number from my own choice. 
Or. you may send names of double, or more, the number paid for, 
from which I may more readily make a selection, if in stock. No 
order filled for less than one dollar. 
SPECIAL OFFER NO. 2. 
For one dollar I will send postpaid, of my choice, twenty 
cuttings or small plants of cacti, or succulents, or assorted, of 
each as may be des'red. The purchaser may, if so disposed, 
name half of the plants desired, and I will put in what I can and 
make up the balance from my choice—all named. 
For $2.00 to $io.oo extras will be put in free. The larger 
the amount the more extras you will receive. 
\ ou get the small plants or small cuttings by mail or express, 
prepaid, at a very small cost, and you have the pleasure of seeing 
your pets grow under your care. 
When you receive your Cactus, cut off all bruised roots, set 
on a bed or deep box of sand. Do not water often, but do not 
let the sand quite dry out. When the plant is rooted, pot off or 
plant. See that your soil is well drained and water cautiously 
only in the growing season. 
When errors occur, patrons will confer a favor by advising 
me of the same at once. I take the utmost care to prevent errors, 
and will cheerfully correct when the fault is mine.
