Mamillaria carnea Mamillaria lloydii 
LEPTOCEREUS leonii. A rare Cuban species grow¬ 
ing tall and much branched with golden spines. 12 
to 14 inch specimens $1.00 
LEUCHTENBERGIA principis. *12. Called "Agave 
Cactus’’ because its long slender tubercles tipped with 
straw like spine formations cause it to resemble an 
Agave or Century Plant rather than a cactus. Flowers 
very large and yellow. Nice seedling plants .75, large 
imported specimens $1.50 (not prepaid because of 
size). 
LOBIVIA. A genus of rather small growing plants 
single headed or forming clusters of many heads 
prized for the colorful day blooming flowers ranging 
from yellow through orange and reds, often with two 
tone color arrangements. Need loose well drained 
soil, water well when growing, but keep dormant and 
rather dry during the winter months for best flowers. 
Because seed is difficult to obtain most of these are 
offered as grafted specimens. They like full sun and 
prefer out door locations.
