RAINBOW DUMPLING 
Mamillaria rhodantha 
For many years this has been one 
of my favorites. It has spines of 
varying colors from yellow to red and 
bright red flowers. I have some nice 
2” specimens 35c. —50c. 
Nice 1" specimens... 
JELLY BEANS 
Mamillaria fragilis minima 
A brand new variety of the Thimble 
Cactus with harmless snowy white 
spines. This dainty little species grows 
rapidly and quickly bears many arms, 
each of which may be planted. It is 
particularly effective planted among 
other varieties for it will grow in 
any chink.... 
MAMILLARIA 
WERDERMANNIANA 
The photo shows the wealth of 
snowy wool covering the crown but 
fails to reveal the brilliance of its 
many vivid begonia-red flowers. Ma¬ 
ture plants may be 3" in diameter 
and grow more beautiful with age. 
Blooming size 35c and 50c. 
GOLDEN STARS 
Mamillaria elongata 
CORYPHANTHA 
A CONSPICUOUS GENUS 
Charming with its shining rich yellow, and 
harmless spines. It's an orderly little plant 
that grows readily under all conditions. When 
mature it may be 6" tall and have a hun- 
dred arms making a very valuable specimen. 
The photo well shows its branching habit and 
neat spine stars. Likes a fair amount of 4 m 
water. Nice. Bright W plants. 1 5C 
These close relatives of the ilamlllarias differ in 
generally having much larger flowers and often fleshy 
roots. In the young state many are most attract ve 
iwith their conspicuous spine stars and with maturity 
they make real "show" specimens. The flowers are 
often as much as 3" in diameter and of lively colors 
They like a sandy soil with some lime and plenty of 
sunshine in summer.

This newly discovered tiny Barrel Cactus conies 
from Argentina where it seems to have been found 
only on one sheer cliff. It is a handsome globe 
2 "-4" in diameter with tiny harmless hooked spines 
on spiraled ridges. Flowers most freely, the petals 
having a satin-like sheen. Since it blooms when 
quite small and does so under adverse conditions it 
is very popular. They like a little shade in full sum¬ 
mer and appreciate a soil with quite a bit of leaf- 
mold. 1H* specimens 35c. 
Splendid flowering size plants.

MOTHER OF HUNDREDS 
Mamillaria compressa 
A pretty variety with white spines 
and brilliant ruby-red blossoms im¬ 
bedded in masses of white cotton giv¬ 
ing the plant the appearance of be¬ 
ing covered with snow. It eventually 
branches forming close packed mounds 
with scores of heads! A winter _ 
bloomer, l 1 /^" plants . 
VAUPEL’S PINCUSHION 
Mamillaria Vaupelii 
One of the prettiest of the smaller 
richly colored Pincushions. The 
erect central spines are bright fox 
red, a beautiful sight when the sun 
is shining through the glossy 
spines! The plants grow singly and 
may eventually reach 2” in diam¬ 
eter. A choice species.

PINCUSHION 
Mamillaria Kewensis 
A rapid growing species of 
which our customers write that it 
often reaches a foot in height in 
3 or 4 years! Makes a prize 
specimen for with age it assumes 
an entirely different aspect. 
Blooms profusely with crimson 
flowers followed by pale pink 
fruits, l* 35c. 
MAMILLARIA PHAEACANTHA 
Natural size 
A charming species that I particularly recommend 
because it commences to bloom in the second year and 
flowers rather steadily throughout the summer. Blos¬ 
soms are ruby red and are borne in a circlet near the 
top. I have a few 2" and 3" at 50c. Fine 
plants, some of which have already flowered. I/C
