CACTI, EUPHORBIAS, SUCCULENTS, ALOES. 
Sub-tropical unless otherwise noted. This interest¬ 
ing group is coming more and more into favor as 
the general public becomes better acquainted with 
the interesting forms and the beautiful flowers of 
these large families. It is important to remember, 
however, that many of the choicest cacti will thrive 
only in very dry soil and are extremely sensitive to 
our sub-tropical conditions. We have developed a 
stock grafted on a variety which grows naturally 
in extremely tropical environments, making it pos¬ 
sible to grow the finest desert types successfully. 
We urge that these be considered when making 
your order. Note varieties so listed in the price 
list enclosed.

APOROCACTUS [1] flagelliformis. Rat-tail Cac¬

on high stems. 
A. Mallisoni. Monkey Tail Cactus. Pendant stems
