Cephalocereus senilis 
CEREUS. Night Blooming cacti growing tall and tree- 
like, fast growing and bearing large white flowers fol- 
lowed by pulpy edible fruit about the size of an apple. 
The attractive fruits are yellow, red or purplish in 
color and are smooth and spineless. Due to speed and 
ease of culture this genus is best for grafting. Seed- 
ling Cereus are fine for small specimens and quick 
propagation, but for heavy large specimen grafts, only 
the rooted cuts from mature plants should be used. 
See “Cacti for the Amateur’’—Haselton—for complete 
directions for grafting. 
C. hybrid seedlings for grafting stock 3 to 4 inches in 
height $1.00 per 10 plants. 
C. hybridus monstrosus. A monstrous form making 
peculiar irregular growths of grotesque appearance. 
Small ones .25, larger .50 
NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS. This is a name ap- 
plied for generations to any species of cactus which 
opens its flowers at night. The flowers are white, some 
times tinged with pink or cream shades and are often 
intensely fragrant. In addition to the above Cereus, 
the following are night blooming—Acanthocereus, 
Cephalocereus, Dendrocereus, Eriocereus, Harrisia, 
Hylocereus, Pilocereus, Roseocereus, Selenicereus, 
Trichocereus and Echinopsis. The latter two open at 
night, but remain open during the day. There are 
many others which can not be named here and some 
genera include both night and day flowering species. 
CHAMAECEREUS grandiflorus. A pretty light green 
short columnar species with golden spines and fine red 
flower. The identity of this one is uncertain, it may 
be identical with the so-called Trichocereus huascha 
var. rubra. Grafted or rooted .75 
C. silvestrii. The “Peanut Cactus” is one of the most 
popular and easily grown of all small cacti and is 
equally at home indoors or outside. It produces groups 
of short stems and usually bears its brilliant orange red 
flowers the first season .15 
CLEISTOCACTUS. Slender columnar plants branch- 
ed from the base flowering freely after one to two feet 
high with many red tubular blossoms projecting from 
the sides of the stems, often continuously for several 
months, followed by bright rose colored fruits about 
the size of a large cherry, provided cross pollination 
is made with another plant. 
C. baumanii (Scarlet Bugler). Small .25, larger .35. 
C. buchtienii. Slender erect with reddish brown spines; 
flowers wine red .50 
C. smaragdiflorus. Flowers tipped with green .75

CONSOLEA rubescens. A tropical opuntia like spe- 
cies which grows tree-like with chocolate brown pads 
nearly spineless .50 
COPIAPOA cinerea. A rare Chilean one with grayish 
green body, globular with stiff yellowish spines. Small 
grafted plants $1.00, larger specimens grafted $2.00

vicinity of La Paz, Bolivia. Small .30, larger branched 
plants .60 
CORYPHANTHA. A genus of globular or cylindric 
plants bearing large tubercles, interesting spine ar- 
rangements and yellow, red or purple flowers, particu-

flowers yellow .50 
C. cubensis. A very rare one from Cuba, believed ex- 
tinct for thirty years when rediscovered. Difficult to 
grow on its own roots, but thriving and flowering freely 
when grafted. We offer select grafted specimens for 
the collector of hard to get rarities at only .75 
C. dyckiana .50

DENDROCEREUS zudiflorus. A columnar species 
from Cuba which grows to large trees in its native 
habitat, some of which are estimated to be 500 years 
old. Grows fast in warm weather and likes rich soil 
and plenty of moisture when growing. The large white 
flowers are called “Flor de Fiesta” in Cuba. Fine speci- 
mens $1.00 
DENMOZA erythrocephala. An attractive globular 
kind from Argentina. Resembles an Echinopsis in form 
when small, but with age forms a tall “barrel type”
