BALL CACTI 
NOTOCACTUS 
Some of the most fascinating and lovely flowered 
Cacti are found in this group and I personally recom- 
mend them to your consideration knowing they will 
please in every way. The plants are very neat and none 
are very spiny, many having soft bristles. The flowers 
are bright and cheerful opening widely in the sunshine 
and often being most freely produced. They are of the 
easiest culture doing exceptionally well in the window 
garden. Many fanciers graft them on taller-growing sorts 
such as the White Torch or the Peruvian Apple where 
they grow rapidly and flower profusely. Such specimens 
are the heart of many collections. - 
CULTURE. They like partial shade during the hottest part of the 
summer. Very easily grown in a sandy but fertile soil and liking 
to be kept moist during their growing season even liking a little 
moisture during the winter. Native to the lower mountains slopes 
and valleys of Uruguay, Argentina and Brazil.

flowers larger than the plant. It has long been a favor-
