E. jusbertii. A slower growing clambering one with 
attractive dark green stems armed with short conical 
jet black spines. Flowers very large, white, pink 
tinged. Some consider it the best grafting stock of 
all $1.00 
E. martinii. Branches of this one are much shorter and 
of a shrubby habit when grown in the full sun. It is 
the most profuse bloomer of all cacti with us, large 
specimens seldom being without flowers during the 
summer and fall months. This one is most suitable 
for pot culture as the stems are shorter than the others. 
The flowers are white and since it is self fertile the 
bright red fruits always set .35 each, for nice rooted 
cuts, larger ones .50 
E. pomanensis. A rarer one from Northwestern Ar- 
gentina, the spiny stems of which are quite attractive, 
but is slower to flower than the others .50 
E. regelii. Stems more slender and longer with flowers 
more deeply tinged with pink .75

to brown spines, it is one of the most colorful of all.

ESCOBARIA. Small growing round or short globular 
plants usually forming clusters, closely related to 
Mamillaria. Need loose well drained soil, sunlight 
with a pinch of lime in the soil mixture.

FEROCACTUS. ‘Barrel Cactus’ are globular or 
elongated after great age, heavily armed with attractive 
often colorful spines and make handsome pot speci- 
ments requiring little space as they grow rather slow- 
ly. Give them coarse well drained sandy soil, water 
lightly during the growing season, but keep drier in 
the winter dormant months, specially the large col- 
lected specimens. Small seedling plants require more 
water when kept in small pots which dry out quickly. 
A popular conception is that they hold a reservoir of 
good drinking water available to the thirsty desert 
traveler, but any one who has tasted the thick acrid 
mucillaginous sap which saturates the pulpy interior 
will agree that only the most thirst crazed person 
would attempt to use it for this purpose. 
F. acanthodes, The “California Barrel Cactus’ is 
handsome with its colorful reddish spines. Small ones 
.50, five inch specimens .75 (not postpaid). Large ex- 
hibition specimens can be supplied if desired. Ask for 
quotation and state size wanted. 
Seedlings of this one are the fastest 
growing of any that I have ever grown. Spines red- 
dish .50 
F, covillei. The “Arizona Barrel Cactus.” Sturdy 
plants with long stiff reddish gray spines .50, three to 
four inch specimens $1.00 
F. crassihamatus. Stout white recurved spines .75 
F, latispinus. The “Devil’s Tongue Cactus,” so called 
because of the wide flat recurved spine which may be 
yellowish or red. The spine growth on this and other 
seedling Ferocactus is different during the first two or 
three seasons growth. Nice seedling plants .25 
F. longihamatus. So named because of the long white 
hooked spines. An attractive seedling .35 
F, melocactiformis (Syn. F. electracanthus). Makes an 
attractive specimen with its long yellowish spines .35

FRAILEA. ‘Midget Cacti” are the smallest growing 
of the cactus family, seldom becoming more than an 
inch or two across. The small flowers are yellow, but 
some set fruit and fertile seed without opening. They 
are best grafted and the following three species are all 
grafted specimens, mostly flowering size. 
F. dadakii .25, F. grahliana .35, F. gracillima .25
