CULTURAL DIRECTIONS:— Good drainage is essential. Give pletny of light, but protect the plants from direct sunlight 
in summer time. They should have a raised bed if set outdoors or potted and pots plunged so they can be taken up readily 
for storage and protection through the winter months. Some cacti will stand temperatures below zero, especially those 
from the highlands of the Western States, these plants can ordinarily be left outside if given protection through the winter 
months. 

Water sparingly when they are dormant or resting if you would have profuse blooming when growth starts after rest 
period, which should be at least 2 to 3 months, preferably through the winter months. 
For planting use a mixture of one-third coarse sand, one-third fine leaf mold, and one-third good garden soil, and if it does 
not contain lime, add hydrated lime and ground charcoal in small quantities. 
Special instructions given on request for rock gardening and other growing conditions not generally covered by above in- 
structions. 
A simple method of setting cacti and succulents in pottery—Make up a quantity of soil, any good garden soil is all right, 
add a small amount of hydrated lime and mix with water until it is soft enough to barely pour. Remove most of the roots 
especially from cacti, and dip in hydrated lime, then fill container with mud and push plant into position, cover soil with 
crushed rock or shells and let dry. In the case of cacti, do not water any more for at least a month. Some succulents will 
stand a large amount of water, but it is best to water sparingly until plants show signs of new growth.
