CEREUS 
This is a heterogeneous group and for 
cultural and other reasons we have fol- 
lowed some of the later revisions. Regard- 
less of botanical hairsplitting the revised 
genera do roughly correspond to the cul- 
tural groups. As gardeners we are more 
interested in cultural and form resem- 
blances than in futile arguments as to what 
constitutes a character of generic signifi- 
cance. 
Black Cereus (Cereus coerulescens 
[aethiopsis] or Piptanthocereus coerules- 
cens). In spite of its various names a 
beautiful plant. The stems are quite dark 
when young but when a few inches high 
become bright blue with black spines, mak- 
ing an arresting specimen. It comes from 
the Argentine and bears charming white, 
nocturnal flowers. Very rare. Small 1 in.

perhaps brighter nlue. A very rare and

PERUVIAN OLD MEN CACTI 
Espostoa lanata 
This beautiful, silky, white haired Old Man from 
Peru is one of my best introductions in recent years 
and we take great pride in offering it to our cus- 
tomers. It comes from high up in the Andes and has 
proven to be an easily grown healthy species. I now 
have a very promising lot of them. They appreciate 
an open porous soil with some leafmold, equal por- 
tions of sandy loam, sand and leafmold makes a 
useful compost. They like sun or part shade equally 
well but we shade our plants from the direct sun 
rays as we do all high montane plants. Each 27e. 
a2) Ae 
plenty of sand and leafmold and particularly appre- 
ciate regular feedings during the summer of Cactus 
Food. In the window garden they like a cool place 
during the winter to secure a long rest so they may 
bloom their best for you when summer comes. 
Silver Torch. See photo at left. 
Scarlet Bugler (Cleistocactus Bauman- 
nii). I consider this one of our most satis- 
factory cacti. With us it flowers for many 
months and stands a lot of abuse on which 
it seems to thrive. Brilliant red blossoms 
characterize this fine species which flow- 
ers continuously for months. The flowers 
are followed by pink fruits the size of a 
marble. With age the plants have many 
cane-like stalks the flowers being produced 
on the upper portion. Give it a light soil 
and feed well during the summer.
