FROM MAINE TO CALIFORNIA COME REPORTS 
OF SUCCESS WITH KELLY S CACTUS SEED 
"Please send me the enclosed order for seeds. I have 
had very good results with the seeds bought of you the 
first of the winter. Some of the Ferocacti are large as 
peas already. Ferocactus alamosanus, fordii and 
echidne, all with several spine clusters. Practically 
every seed came. I germinated these seeds under an 
inverted metal bowl with a 30 watt bulb in the top, as 
we had a lot of dull weather in December.” 
Oliver P. Young, Maine.
