PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT. (Selenicereus 
pteranthus.) A gorgeous tropical blossom 
that you may have right in your own 
home! The flowers are magnificent, over a 
foot across—snowy-white within, the outer 
petals curved backwards and of a deep 
golden yellow. The plant has square climb¬ 
ing stems and may be trained to a stake. 
The easiest of all to grow. 24-inch plants, 
75c. Vigorous young plants, 50c. 
HONOLULU QUEEN CEREUS. (Hylocereus 
tricostatus.) In Honolulu one of the most 
spectacular sights is the hedge of this 
grand flowering cactus. In the evening 
when the huge 14-inch blossoms are open¬ 
ing it is like Fairyland. It is quite different 
with its triangular stems and grows read¬ 
ily. 50c. 
MOON CACTUS. (Harrisia Jusbertii.) At 
night any time during the summer you may 
expect these curious snake-like plants to 
open their lovely silvery blossoms. The 
stems are round and at first upright. 25c. 
CEREI —the largest and most varied group of 
the cactus family. Especially noted for their 
fine flowers. 
70 KINDS IN HER COLLECTION 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I am enclosing a picture of my cactus collection 
mostly growing in tin cans and seeming to like it. 
There are 70 in this group.

BELOW—QUEEN CACTUS 
One of the easiest to grow and surest to flower 
of all Cacti. Its large, deliciously fragrant blos¬ 
soms are borne orn summer evenings. Thrives in 
the window garden, the plants reaching a great 
age and forming very handsome specimens. Likes 
lots of water and some shade for it grows 
in the forest and not on the desert. It 
bears no spines and its "leaves” are flat 
and waved... 
50c 
SCARLET BUGLER. (Cleistocactus Bau- 
manii.) Grow one to two feet high, 
with scores of scarlet blossoms. Seems 
to flower almost all summer and fall. 
Specimens 12 inches to 16 inches tall 
ready to flower, $1.25. Smaller, 35c. 
SILVER TORCH. (Cleistocactus Strau- 
sii.) This beautiful small cereus has 
clustered, inch thick columns covered 
with glossy, silvery spines, soft and 
harmless. On the sunny side along the 
upper parts are the red flower buds in 
numbers. They expand into brilliant 
tubular scarlet blossoms. So easy to 
grow no collection is complete without 
it. Nice plants, 35c. 
Giant Mexican Cereus. (Pachycereus 
Pringlei.) Grows to a height of 60 
inches! A huge tree-like plant, pretty 
when small. 25c. 
Powder Blue Cereus. A charming 
plant with handsome powdery blue 
stems and black spines! Most attrac¬ 
tive in pots. 25c. 
THRILLED WITH NEW PLANTS 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
Thank you for the extra plants sent with 
my last order. I always get a real thrill with 
each package I receive. Such beautiful, healthy 
plants, most of which I have never seen be¬ 
fore except perhaps a few in pictures. I thank 
you also for your nice selections. 
MR. C. BROWN, 
New York. 
Silver Cane. (Lemaireocereus Benec- 
kii.) Handsome frosted white trunks and 
black spines. Very pretty. 50c. 
Arizona Giant. (Carnegiea gigantea.) 
Forms great forests in Arizona. A ma¬ 
jestic tree-like plant. Nice small plants, 
25c. 
STAR CEREUS. (L. stellatus.) In win¬ 
ter or in the sun the stems turn a beau¬ 
tiful red. Grows easily. 25c. 
Indian Comb. (P. pecten-aboriginum.) 
A pretty giant cactus that grows easily. 
Indians use the spiny fruits for combs. 
25c. 
HAVE MADE WONDERFUL GROWTH 
Dear Sir: The Cactus received from you 
last fall have made wonderful growth this sum¬ 
mer. Also thanks for the extra plants. My 
interest in Cacti increases each week and I 
have had more enjoyment from my small 
Cactus bed than all the rest of my flowers. 
Several of my varieties flowered this summer 
much to my delight.

OLD MAN CACTUS 
(Pilocereus senilis) 
The long white tresses of this vener¬ 
able cactus make it one of the most 
sought after. I have some splendid, 
clean, healthy plants with long, snowy 
hair and fine root system. Nice plants 
25c. Larger 50c. Specimens $1 and $2. 
NIGHT BLOOMING HARRISIA 
(Harrisia Martinii) 
The Harrissias are a very free growing 
group of night-blooming Cacti. They do 
not grow so tall as Queen of the Night but 
bear quantities of 6-inch snowy blossoms. 
Easy to grow and flower in the win¬ 
dow. 25c. 
A PLANT CURIOSITY 
(Cereus peruvianus monstruosus) 
A strange and monstrous cactus attract¬ 
ing the attention of all who see it. As 
easy to grow as any others and never lose 
their peculiar growth. Only a few vari¬ 
eties are known. Nice plants 25c. Large 
grafted specimens 50c and $1. 
PAPER SPINE PRICKLY PEAR 
(Tephrocactus glomeratus) 
One of the rarest and most pecul¬ 
iar of all Cacti. Instead of spines 
they have long, white paper ribands! 
Though they come from the cold bleak 
plains of Patagonia where they form 
great mats they grow readily making 
nice specimen clusters. 35c and 5dc.
