HARDY CACTI 
All cacti listed have withstood our winters cold up to 30 below 
zero without protection. The thing for us to do is to avoid too much 
moisture during the winter when they are dormant, For gardeners 
that have excessive moisture a raised rockery or sloping hillside is 
advised. Ordinary garden soil is best for cacti, with crushed rock 
or gravel on top if desired. Prices quoted are for rooted plants of the 
ball types and the opuntia types will be sent rooted when possible, 
otherwise cuttings will be sent. 
If you would rather have them rooted and care to wait, will be 
glad to root them for you before sending.
