Orchid Flowering Cactus 
10 INCH BLOOMS ON SMALL PLANTS 
The Orchid Cactus (Hybrid Epiphyllum) 
is fast becoming one of our most prized in- 
door plants. Unlike the desert Cactus, it 
is entirely free from thorns, being similar 
in habits to the popular Christmas Cactus. 
The flower differs from Christmas Cactus, 
however, in size and form, as well as 
‘brilliance in the many colors available. It 
is not uncommon for a well grown plant 
to produce fifteen or twenty gigantic 
blooms, ten and even twelve inches across, 
in a single season. : 
It is not at all difficult to grow this spec- 
tacular fiq@wer under ordinary home sur- 
roundings. The blooming season varies 
from April through June with the different 
varieties. Your choice of colors — Red, 
White, Pink and Orange—40c each; 3 for 
$1.00, postpaid.
