THE CACTUS BOOK 
by A. D. Houghton. Just: select the right kinds and you 
can grow cacti in any climate and under any conditions, 
up to a foot across and sometimes 200 
blooms on a single plant. This book tells you which cacti 
to buy and how to grow them outdoors or indoors; how 
to raise from seed, hybridize, make cuttings and grafts, 
and everything else connected with cacti growing. 18 
illustrations; 147 pages; 5x7% inches. $2.25. 
EPIPHYLLUMS. The picture of the epiphyllum to the left, indicates one of the 
smaller size plants, perhaps one year from the R. C. The large plants, of exhibition 
size, develop many flowering stems and require a 9-inch pot or larger, the pot and soil 
are sold with the plants when purchased at our Garden Shop, but all shipped plants 
are sent “bare roots’”’ as this is the best method of shipping all cacti plants. They have 
ample moisture stored in their stems, and we have received shipments covering a dis- 
tance of thousands of miles, when the plants were in full bud and bloom, and we had 
them continue the bloom uninterrupted, after such a long journey with the roots dry 
and minus soil.
