ORCHID CACTI 
Orchid Cacti (see front cover) bear some of 
the most beautiful flowers in nature and every 
Cactus Fancier looks forward to spring when 
the plants burst forth in a welter of color, the 
blossoms often reaching dinner plate size! 
Pinks, violets, copper, scarlets a blaze of truly 
gorgeous flowers! They are guite easy to 
grow, liking some shade and plenty of mois¬ 
ture, thus the window garden and shade house 
is ideal for their growth. I have some vig¬ 
orous young plants this year.

RED EMPRESS. Quite similar to the Pink 
Empress, but has red blossoms. A very pretty 
plant. 35c. 
How to Grow Orchid Cacti 
The Orchid, Xmas and Pop Corn Cacti grow 
in shady forests and not out on hot deserts. 
Thus you may see that they should be treated 
more like ferns than strictly desert kinds. Like „ 
ferns, they enjoy an open porous soil, lots of 
moisture, and not too much direct sun, but of 
course plenty of light. Old plants, when they 
are growing well, take just a little fertilizer.

OUR CACTI IN ALASKA 
"My recent order was recevied in such excellent con¬ 
dition I was much pleased. Also with the varieties, 
generosity and promptness of delivery. Have very good 
luck here with my cacti even though the winters are 
long and dark as I have much light and all the sun¬ 
shine there is from three sides and they surely do 
well. Have mine mostly in a fernery and have sort of 
landscaped the whole. It is attractive and affords me 
much pleasure." 
Mrs. O. H. Bindpage, Ketchikan, Alaska.
