A popular

This type pottery 
found in most 
stores dealing

To Prepagate from Cuttings and Offsets 
Cuttings are best removed during the spring and summer months. 
Do not take cuttings during wet or cold weather for to do so would 
cause rotting of both the cutting and parent plant. Remove cuttings with 
a sharp, clean knife... never break off cuttings. Heal the cuttings for 
several days in a dry shaded place before planting. Root the cuttings in 
a shallow planting in clean, slightly damp mixture of sand containing 
peat moss and charcoal. As soon as the roots have formed, remove and 
plant as outlined under “Cultural Guide for Cacti and other Succulents.” 
Offsets may be removed at any time and planted in the usual way. 
“The cactus arrived today and it was the nicest shipment we have ever had from any 
Texas concern. We are very pleased with it. You may ship at once whatever you have 
that we could use, up to 5,000 plants for this shipment.’’ Cactus Pete, California. 
“T won sweepstakes in the Associated 
Garden Clubs in November with my cac- 
tus.’’—Mrs. Clark, Utah.
