LOBIVIA 
Cob Cacti 
These small Barrel Cacti are mostly 
mountain species from Bolivia (of which 
Lobivia is an anagram) and Argentina. 
Some species are found at 13,000 ele- 
vation on the bleak shores of the 
world’s highest body of water, Lake 
Titicaca. They are sometimes solitary 
plants, other species forming easily 
separating clusters. Many species have 
fleshy tap roots while others coming 
from the same districts have fibrous 
roots. Some are heavily armed with long, 
stiff, horn-like spines. The clustering 
species have comparatively few spines. 
The blossoms are exquisite generally of 
brilliant hues of red or yellow. They are 
new and scarce though extremely easy 
to grow. Many blossom when little more 
than an inch in diameter. 
CULTURE. In general they require no special 
care. Give them a sandy loam soil with some 
leafmold and good drainage. A little granulated 
charcoal is helpful to keep the soil sweet. Pow- 
dered egg shells or old plaster will supply lime. 
They like plenty of sun in summer. Rest in a 
cool place in winter.

CACTI ENJOY CACTUS FOOD 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
Am so pelased with the looks of my Cacti since 
I began to use your Cactus Food and also the 
Vitamin B-1. The color is good, the growth is 
evident and the rlants seem to know they are 
alive and enjoying themselves. I have 23 varieties 
and get a great deal of pleasure watching and 
caring for them. 
Sincerely,
