EPYPHYLLUM 
These marvelously beautiful flowers are hard to 
deseribe. Their silky blossoms have a_ brilliancy, 
range of color and irideseence making them dis- 
tinctly different from any other flower. 
They are sometimes called Orchid Cactus, and 
technically are a spineless cactus, although their 
ancestors never saw the desert. 
Epyphyllums originally came from the South 
American jungles, and naturally like partial shade 
and leaf mold. ‘hey will grow out of doors where 
the temperature does not go below 28°. Try them 
in the house. They make excellent pot plants and 
bloom withcut much trouble. 
For a good soil mixture use equal parts of good 
garden soil, leaf mold and well rotted cow manure. 
- Keep moist as you would ferns. 
The Epyphyllums we are offering are well rooted 
cuttings and cannot be expected to bloom the first 
year, although some varieties bloom sooner than 
others.

marvelous plant bears blossoms of such beauty as to be

inches across. The outside petals soft coral pink, inside 
snowy white. The many stamens are placed so they
