a pale pink color. The white flowers appear in the 
springtime when the plant emerges from its winter 
rest swelling a ete twice its

WE THINK THEY ARE PRETTY TOO! 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I received the second shipment of Cacti and must 
say that every plant exceeded my greatest hore that 
they would be as lovely as the illustrations in the 
catalog. In fact I do not think the cuts in the cata- 
log do them justice and when I unpacked the box 
and took out the plants one by one it was certainly 
a big thrill to pot each one, place it in my window 
and admire it day by day. I also want to thank you 
for packing them so carefully. All were in perfect con- 
dition. I hope to make cactus collecting a hobby as 
it seems such a fascinating pastime.

VIEW IN SEEDLING CACTUS HOUSE 
This view in one of our cactus greenhouses shows 
how our tens of thousands of seedlings are grown, 
Note that they are all planted in shallow boxes or 
“‘flats’’ until they are big enough to fend for them- 
selves. It is several months after the seed sprouts be- 
fore they are large enough to move into these flats. 
Then they are replanted every few months until they 
attain the requisite size and hardiness for your win- 
dow garden. i
