CACTUS 
The Cacti are easily raised from seed, and fit well into 
the window garden, requiring less care, and attracting more 
attention than other house plants. Everywhere, north or 
south, Cacti may be used with striking effect for summer 
bedding, in the rock garden, or on a dry sunny bank. When 
hard freezes come, the plants may be potted up and carried 
over winter in the house. Even a sunny cellar window 
will suffice. It should be noted that Mammillaria vivipara 
and Neobesseya missouriensis are winter-hardy in the open 
ground well into Canada, while Echinocereus viridiflorus 
will winter outside at Philadelphia, as, indeed, will usually 
Echinocactus polyancistrus. For other winter-hardy Cacti,
