Mamillarias CACTI 
INCUSHION CACTI are at home in the window garden perhaps 
as well or better than any other group. They never grow out of 
bounds and mature flowering plants are easily grown in small 
pots. They are of particularly easy culture, too, and quite consis- 
tently flower many of them during the winter and spring. 
It is surprising how nature produces so many variations on a 
single theme. Certainly in the Mamillarias she has extended her- 
self. Some are solitary, while others form clustered groups, the 
heads hexagonal frcm the pressure of their fellows. Conspicuous 
are the white spined species, some even having long silky hair, 
and one appears as though covered with feathers.
