Queen of the Night (Phyllocactus Latifrons) (Epiphyllum oxypet- 
alum). "It was the appearance in a daily newspaper of a pic¬ 
ture of this flower under the name of Night Blooming Cereus, 
which caused the organization of the Cactus Society of America. 
This plant, when well grown and fed, may be shown with two 
or three hundred flowers during its blooming season of several 
weeks. ... In my opinion nothing in the floral world ap¬ 
proaches them for sheer beauty, and a single plant will stop 
traffic at your door." Description taken from "The Cactus Book" 
by Arthur D. Houghton, President Cactus and Succulent Society 
of America. Well rooted plants $1.00.
