EUPHORBIA 
A huge and extremely interesting genus of Succu¬

AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION 
August 27th. 1939. 
"I am enclosing a snapshot of only a small part of 
my collection of Cacti. The Euphorbia grandicomis 
(Cow Horn) has grown 7" since I received it from 
you the 1st of May while the Grafted Peanut re¬ 
ceived at the same time has more than 30 growths! 
I am well pleased with all my purchases from you. 
I am interested in the Euphorbias and want to pur¬ 
chase some more. I now have 125 varieties of Cacti.”

ECHINOCEREUS 
Hedge Hog Cereus

with the richly colored blossoms of the Hedge Hog 
Cerei. At this time their short, cob-shaped branches 
burst forth with the most exauisite blossoms—pink, 
scarlet, sometimes purple, crimson or yellow often as 
big as the plants. They vary greatly In their habit 
of growth though all are small seldom exceeding a 
few inches in height.

CORN COB 
Euphorbia mammillaris 
This queer Euphorbia is oddly marked off into ker¬ 
nel-like divisions. It shortly becomes much branched 
and may eventually form large clusters. Like all these 
African Euphorbias the stem when pierced exudes a 
milky-white latex. Likes liberal culture .. 
and grows easily ..... 2UC
