FEROCACTUS. “Barrel Cactus’ are globular or 
elongated after great age, heavily armed with attractive 
often colorful spines and make handsome pot speci- 
ments requiring little space as they grow rather slow- 
ly. Give them coarse well drained sandy soil, water 
lightly during the growing season, but keep drier in 
the winter dormant months, specially the large col- 
lected specimens. Small seedling plants require more 
water when kept in small pots which dry out quickly.
