WITH 
ENJOYABLE 
INDOOR GARDENS 
These cheerful Cactus Plants can be easily arranged in a glass garden (as illus- 
trated), if desired. Good light, very little water, and this colorful little garden is 
yours to enjoy all the winter months. For window sill plants there is nothing that 
holds up better than this type plant. Many are quite unique and present an entirely 
unexpected interest in the window garden. They are excellent planted in either the 
common clay pots, or in the fancy pottery we like so well. 
CT-1 Aloe-Gasteria —A hybrid that combines 
the pleasing qualities of both plants. Spotted 
with tiny white dots, it has all the appear' 
ance of the graceful aloes. 25c each.

aloes. A handsome green rosette, compact 
plant, dotted with harmless short spines. 
25c each

Opuntia, but as it grows older, it assumes

of Medusa!” One of the Euphorbia you won’t
