OLD MAN CACTUS

In Mexico where it grows in vast for¬ 
ests on the dry hillsides it is called

BRAZILIAN OLD MAN

I first saw this rare Old Man. Its abun¬ 
dant white hair is fine and silky, quite 
different from any others. Like all the 
Old Men it is extremely easy to grow 
and forms a most valuable and rare 
specimen. 40c. Show plants 60c.
