MONVILLEA 
A very satisfactory group, in 
growth somewhat like the Snake 
Cactus. The flowers are white, 
spineless. The stems of some vari- 
eties are handsomely mottled white 
and green. They are native to the 
Rio La Plata basin. They like a 
warm situation sometimes with a 
little shade and are not too par- 
ticular about soil. Feed well dur- 
ing the summer with Cactus Food.

MYRTILLOCACTUS 
This is a particularly interesting 
genus for its odd method of branch- 
ing. Started with a single trunk 
branching shortly each succeeding 
branch being short, plump and 
originating on the outer side which 
gives the plant an umbrella-like 
appearance. They may eventually 

grow several feet high and as many ' 
feet across. Flowers are similar to DEVIL s FINGER CACTUS

LEMAIREOCEREUS 
The Lemaireocerei are mostly native to Mexico a few 
being found along the Carribean in South America. They 
often grow 10 ft.-15 ft. tall though some may reach 30 
ft. Much branched plants generally from near the ground 
some becoming quite tree-like. Many have beautifully 
powdered blue-white trunks, The flowers, arranged densely 
along the ridges, are pink or white and very attractive 
and are followed by round, red, heavily spined fruits.
