WAIT-A-BIT CACTUS 
Ancistrocactus Scheerii 
A charming cactus with fish hook spines that grows 
most easily. The spines are not sharp. It is found in 
southern Texas where it generally grows in the under- 
brush along the arroyos flowering in early spring. The 
chocolate colored blossoms are quite like those of the 
Pincushions. It grows from 2 in. to 5 in. tall, some- 
times branched with prominently tubercled but indis- 
tinctly ribbed stems. It is a somewhat hard to classify 
plant sometimes put with the Mamillarias sometimes 
with the Barrel Cacti. Fine mature blooming
