lowed by pulpy edible fruit about the size of an apple. 
The attractive fruits are yellow, red or purplish in 
color and are smooth and spineless. Due to speed and 
ease of culture this genus is best for grafting. Seed¬ 
ling Cereus are fine for small specimens and quick 
propagation, but for heavy large specimen grafts, only 
the rooted cuts from mature plants should be used. 
See "Cacti for the Amateur”—Haselton—for complete 
directions for grafting.
