CACTUS 
(Feb.'Sept.) 
The growing of these odd and interesting plants from seeds 
is a fascinating and popular hobby. They are not difficult 
to grow if a few simple requirements are observed. 
Select a shallow pot, bowl or low coffee can having holes 
in the bottom. Fill with equal parts of coarsely sifted sand 
and leaf mold. Select a warm situation, 70 degrees minimum, 
but protected from direct sunlight. Place container in a vessel 
of water until soil is moist at top, and sow seeds evenly, cov' 
ering with coarse sand or small gravel; never with soil. Cover 
with a pane of glass until germination starts and keep moist. 
Transplant first seedlings into another pot, less moist and 
uncovered. Continue watering seed pot as others will ger' 
minate even after several weeks.
