How to Select a Bowl Garden 
In selecting a bowl almost any will do. 
Common kitchen mixing bowls are attractive 
and any department store or the 5 and 10 will 
have others. Get one at least 11/2 inches deep 
and 2 to 12 or more inches across. Fill with 
sandy soil or even sand, then place your 
plants to the best advantage. If bowl has no 
bottom hole water carefully—barely enough 
to moisten at any time. 
MORE BARREL CACTI 
Brain Cactus. (Stenocactus.) These most 
curious plants often have more than 100 wavy 
ribs, a novel feature among cacti. Sometimes 
these ribs are almost paper thin, bearing pa¬ 
pery spines. Flowers pink or violet striped 
with red. 35c. 
Chilenia. A rare genus from Chile, globose 
plants with spiralled ridges. In spring they 
bear a ring of closely set lovely pink blos¬ 
soms. Chilenia chilensis is almost black in 
color! Fine. 25c. 
Turks Cap. (Melocactus.) These unusual 
cacti are perfectly named, for perched on top 
of mature plants is a red Turk's Cap. They are 
melon shaped and like a warm moist atmos¬ 
phere during summer. 25c. 
COLUMBIAN BALL CACTUS. (Malacocarpus 
Hennisii.) A small, round, flat cactus with 
hardly any spines and nice yellow blossoms. 
Grows very easily. I have some very nice 
plants of these. 25c and 50c.

A quick growing 
Cereus that

larly up and

tervals into big, 
snowy - white 
blossoms that 
are powerfully 
fragrant with 
the luscious odor 
of tropical fruits. 
They open in 
early evening, 
not closing until 
noon. Even with¬ 
out the flowers 
it is very pretty 
with round 
fluted columns 
tipped with red.

25c and 50c. 
Larger speci¬ 
mens $1. 
CACTUS SEED 
For those who have the patience the grow¬ 
ing of Cacti from seeds is most interesting. 
Many kinds germinate freely in a warm place. 
The seed should be sown in a pot or small 
box with a pane of glass over it. A pyrex 
baking dish with lid is excellent. It comes up 
generally in from one to two weeks, depend¬ 
ing upon temperature. 
Full instruction on planting with every order.
