TRICHOCEREUS. Sturdy growing cacti from South 
America, best suited for large gardening effects out- 
doors in southern climates, where they endure more 
frosts than most cacti without damage. They like full 
sun, rich soil and plenty of water during the growing 
season. May be grown indoors as large pot plants if 
given plenty of root space in larger pots and placed in 
very light locations. It is best to plunge the pots or set 
plants outdoors in sun during the summer months in 
eastern states. These are noted for their extra large 
white nocturnal flowers. 
T. bertramianus. One of the most beautiful of all cacti 
with its brilliant golden shiny spines. Fine specimens

You have sent me two orders of cacti and succulents 
within the past few months, and I have been exceed- 
ingly pleased with what you have sent. The plants have 
been beautiful specimens, good sized, and healthy, and 
all have done very well even in our desert heat.
