TOM THUMB CACTUS 
(Parodia aureispina) 
This I consider one of the prettiest plants we have 
in the nursery. Each one is a perfect golden specimen 
the ridges running in a spiral about the plant. The 
spine clusters are of several short ones and one longer 
hooked spine. In the center in late spring appear the 
numerous flowers, bright yellow in color. All the plants 
bloom and bloom profusely. This is one of its most 
outstanding features. And remember the whole plant 
is a bright golden yellow all the year around, n 
All plants offered have flowered 3" speci- *\||f 
mens $1 each. 4" $1.50. Smaller__ 
REBUTIA SENILIS 
A Grafted Plant 
These grafted plants make 
very interesting specimens 
and always attract con¬ 
siderable attention. They 
grow rapidly and soon 
make a large cluster. This 
one has graceful deep red 
blossoms. Strong grafted 
plants 50c. 
REBUTIA OURURENSIS 
A Grafted plant 
Quite different in appear¬ 
ance is this Crown Cactus 
for it grows taller and 
more finger-like. The flow¬ 
ers are different too, with 
shorter tubes, and are ap¬ 
ricot pink. Strong grafted 
plants 50c.

WELL GROWN SPECIMENS 
Washington. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
Am enclosing a view of my cactus collection. The 
Rattail has bloomed for several years but this is the 
first time flowered twice. The last four I got from 
you are growing fine and have had one blossom on the 
Thelocactus bicolor already. 
Sincerely yours, 
MRS. E. R. CARLSON. 
Please note the splendid specimens that Mrs. Carlson 
has grown. The Christmas Cactus at lower right is 
a show plant. Rattail at top right. Orchid Cactus 
center. 
CROWN CACTI 
(REBUTIA) 
These brilliant flowered small cacti bloom 
in the greatest profusion. The naked buds 
spring in uncounted numbers from about the 
base and bursting into bloom smother the 
plants in a welter of color. They have soft, 
harmless spines and thrive anywhere.
