JOHNSON'S 
CACTUS SOIL CONDITIONER 
This is of great assistance in keeping plants 
healthy. It is a fine stimulant and aids greatly 
in maintaining the soil in a properly alkaline 
condition. Desert soils are often high in min¬ 
eral content and a spoonful of our Conditioner 
worked in about a cactus plant will often 
bring an ailing one back to vigorous health. 
Enough for a nice collection. Two pounds, 
six ounces can, with instructions, $1.00. 
Smaller can, 60c.

GRAFTED PEANUT CACTUS 
These grafted Peanut Cacti will be the prize 
specimens of your collection. Their clustered

most interesting and every collec¬

laris)

it grows older it some¬ 
times branches and may 
eventually form a large 
cluster. It is found to¬ 
gether with other Suc¬ 
culents in South Africa 
where the climate is 
similar to our South 
West. 25c.
