CACTUS FLOWERS 
Lovely blossoms are here, along with bizarre, decorative 
foliage forms. The flowers may be lemon, golden, cinnabar, 
pure red, purple, rose, pink, or in pastel tones, and in 
few plants are they more showy. Though mostly grown as 
pot plants, it will be noted that some of the kinds, with 
slight protection, will winter in northern gardens. 
NYCTOCEREUS SERPENTINUS—Showy fragrant flowers, 
three inches across, blush-suffused white within, rose-shaded 
without, are carried on cylindrical, bright green stems that 
twine and clamber. Should be staked. Good young plants,

is the Queen of the Night, by far the finest night-blooming 
Cereus. The blossoms come in spring, snowy white, sometimes

stem plants, 5 inches up, each 50c.

CACTUS WINTER-HARDY KINDS—Here are year-around 
kinds for your garden, species that will endure much cold, 
some of them temperatures well below zero. When you carry 
them through outside, be sure they are in a well-drained 
position. Then in late autumn, after the pads and stems have 
shrunken and wrinkled to their natural over-winter state, 
mulch with coarse litter, as cornstalks or evergreen boughs, 
something that will not mat down and become soggy. ‘kt

Cactus. Large flowers, pink to rose-purple are carried on the

It is rarely the long-planned enjoyments, but rather 
the sum of varied and unexpected little happinesses, that 
make up pleasant living. The sky-bringing of a Gentian, a 
winter Dandelion against a wall, sweet, piercing sound- 
thrills of a whistling Cardinal, trill of a Song-sparrow 
outside the window, sunset on snow, flame of an autumn 
Maple, curling crests of salt waves, these balance a 
thousand disappointments. Earth yields its treasures to 
those who will see them. .
