ay BALL CACTI 
NOTOCACTUS 
I personally recommend this group to everyone 
knowing they will please in every way. The flowers 
are all bright and cheerful, opening widely in the 
sunshine and often being most freely produced. Many 
of the prettiest cacti for the window garden are 
found in this group. Their popularity is great among 
those who see them at my nursery. 
CULTURE. Very easily grown, liking a rich but sandy soil 
and they prefer dampness during the summer, even liking mois- 
ture during their winter rest.
