under this name, leaving only the yellow fruited spe¬ 
cies under the former name. Their stems are of a 
clambering habit and may be trained over arbors or 
the side of a building where they will reward one with 
frequent masses of giant white slightly fragrant flow¬ 
ers at intervals all through the summer months, fol¬ 
lowed by bright red showy fruits which are quite at¬ 
tractive as they remain several weeks before reaching 
maturity. They flower at night and are a few of the 
scores of species of cacti which you may be told are 
"Night Blooming Cereus.’’ 
E. bonplandi. The fastest growing and most robust of 
all, also the largest flowers. All of the Eriocereus like 
mellow rich soil and plenty of water during the sum¬ 
mer months if vigorous growth is desired .60 
E. guelichii. Also a vigorous grower, but the stems are 
not quite as large as the above. The flowers are tinged 
with pink on the outer petals and are fragrant, and 
are profusely produced. This group is quite hardy in 
regions of light frosts where oranges may be grown .50 
E. jusbertii. A slower growing clambering one with 
attractive dark green stems armed with short conical 
jet black spines. Flowers very large, white, pink 
tinged. Some consider it the best grafting stock of 
all $1.00 
E. martinii. Branches of this one are much shorter and 
of a shrubby habit when grown in the full sun. It is 
the most profuse bloomer of all cacti with us, large 
specimens seldom being without flowers during the 
summer and fall months. This one is most suitable 
for pot culture as the stems are shorter than the others. 
The flowers are white and since it is self fertile the 
bright red fruits always set .35 each, for nice rooted 
cuts, larger ones .50 
E. pomanensis. A rarer one from Northwestern Ar¬ 
gentina, the spiny stems of which are quite attractive, 
but is slower to flower than the others .50 
ESCONTRIA chiotilla. Large growing columnar 
plants resembling Lemaireocereus in general appear¬ 
ance. Large ten inch specimens $1.50 
ESPOSTOA lanata. *22. Grafted .75 
EULYCHNIA iquiquensis. A very rare Chilean plant 
of columnar habit, now available in this country for 
the first time. Small plants $1.75 
Perocactus covillei 
E. regelii. Stems more slender and longer with flowers 
more deeply tinged with pink .75 
E. tortuosus. Has stouter more heavily armed branches, 
with the flowers lightly tinged with pink $1.00 
ERIOSYCE ceratistes. An extremely rare globular spe¬ 
cies from Chile, handsome with gray green body and 
yellow spines which become darker with age. Fine 
grafted specimens $1.50 
E. korethroides. Covered with dense long bright golden 
to brown spines, it is one of the most colorful of all. 
Grows well and we offer it in either rooted or grafted 
specimens at .75 
ESCOBARIA. Small growing round or short globular 
plants usually forming clusters, closely related to 
Mamillaria. Need loose well drained soil, sunlight 
with a pinch of lime in the soil mixture*"^''’ 
E. bustamente. Seedling .50 
E. chaffeyi. Seedling .35, grafted specimen .75 
E. roseanus. This one has bright yellow spines where¬ 
as the others are white or grayish in color .50 each. 
E. sneedii. Grafts .75 
E. strobiliformis. Seedling .40 
E. tuberculosa. Grafted $1.00 
FEROCACTUS. Barrel Cactus are globular or 
elongated after great age, heavily armed with attractive 
often colorful spines and make handsome pot speci- 
ments requiring little space as they grow rather slow¬ 
ly. Give them coarse well drained sandy\s6il, water 
lightly during the growing season, but keep drier in 
the winter dormant months, specially the large col¬ 
lected specimens. Small seedling plants require more 
watei when kept in small pots which dry out quickly. 
A popular conception is that they hold a reservoir of 
good drinking water available to the thirsty desert 
traveler, but any one who has tasted the thick acrid 
mucillaginous sap which saturates the pulpy interior 
will agree that only the most thirst crazed person 
would attempt to use it for this purpose. 
T. acanthodes. The California Barrel Cactus" is 
handsome with its colorful reddish spines. Small ones 
i^u- ^ Ve * nc ^. specimens .75 (not postpaid). Large ex¬ 
hibition specimens can be supplied if desired. Ask for 
quotation and state size wanted. 
F. alamosanus. Seedlings of this one are the fastest 
glowing of any that I have ever grown. Spines red¬
