VIOLET SEA URCHIN

This colorful variety blooms over a period of two 
three months in late spring. The flowers are 
quite large, funnel-shaped and of the most exquisite 
tender violet color. It is a free bloomer commencing 
flower when small. Give it a fertile but sandy

everyone for its blooming period extends over many 
of the summer months. It often produces blooms 
larger than the plant that bears them! The largest 
plants may be 37-4” tall. Grows easily under all 
conditions, likes a rich soil with some sand and 
plenty of water during the summer. Half shade suits 
it well but it flowers better with more sun, Fine

117 VARIETIES! 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I am so proud of the many nice cactus 
vlants I have received from you in re- 
cent years that I could not resist send- 
ing you a photo of them. 117 varieties 
not mentioning my hardy cactus garden. 
The two big Faster Lily Cacti in the 
center are my pride and joy and are 
now 9 years old and the start of my 
hobby. ‘They are indeed gorgeous in 
bloom. I find cacti, like people, love 
company and seem to thrive best when 
a number are planted together in each 
pot. 
Let me compliment you on the grand 
Way your company packs and ships plants 
as fresh as though just handed across 
the counter. Wishing you the best of 
luck, Sincerely yours.
