most beautiful in flower and fruit, as well as interesting 
in form. Fine blend. 15 seeds for 15c; 50 for 40c; 100 
for 75c; 1000 for $6.00.

FOR CACTUS SPECIES AND VARIETIES 
please refer to the heading CACTUS in the General 
Seed Offer, page 50, also heading OPUNTIA on 
page 32. I have fresh seeds available of species of 
Ariocarpus, Melocactus, Harrisia, Mammillaria, Cer- 
eus, Cephalocereus, Echinopsis, Echinocactus, Car- 
negia, Neobesseya, Hamatocactus, Phyllocactus and 
the like. There are no more satisfactory house plants 
than the Cacti, beautiful in bloom, and intriguing 
always in form. Certainly there is no more alluring 
collector’s hobby than the growing of them; (and 
none more difficult to give up). Cacti are rathei 
easy to handle, thriving better, too, in the dry air 
of the average house than will most other window 
plants.
