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 ob- 
served. 
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, covering 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 germinate even 
after several weeks.

varieties, including rare sorts. (Pkt. 25c)
