There are many of the Orchid Cactus hybrids which are so similar that one representa- 
tive of a group is all that is desired in the average collection. It is very disappointing to 
purchase a differently named plant, only to find, upon blooming, that it is the same, or 
nearly so, as something already owned. To help customers avoid this, we are giving 
herewith a partial list of varieties which are similar and, in some instances, identical. 
If you know of other examples, we would be very glad if you would write us so that we 
may include them in future lists.
