CROWN CACTI 
Rebutia 
These brilliant flowered, small cacti bloom with the greatest 
profusion during spring and summer. The buds spring from the 
base of the plant where it enters the soil and at times almost 
smother the plant. The blossoms are lovely in hue, pink, red 
and yellow and as dainty as any in the family. They grow most 
easily and all flower when quite small. The plants when full 
grown rarely exceed 114%” in diameter though many also form 
small clusters. The spines of all are harmless, hardly more 
than bristles. They are found in the mountains of Argentina, 
Bolivia and Peru. 
CULTURE. Being very tolerant they thrive to perfection as 
pot plants blooming regularly. They are often grafted on the 
Peruvian Apple and in a single season will form a large 
cluster. We have found they enjoy a fertile sandy-loam soil 
with a little leaf mold if you have it. Always keep them moist. 
They do best in partial shade. 
REBUTIA SENILIS. Silvery white bristles closely 
cover the plant and in the spring the carmine red 
blossoms appear. A pretty plant at all times. It 
is found at 7000 ft. elevation in the mountains of 
Argentina. 5%”-%” 20c. 
REBUTIA SALMONEA. This charming variety 
has a light, green body, glossy bristles and a very
