SUPPLIES for CACTI 
Few things are needed in the growing of cacti more than interest and 
a desire to form an increasing collection of them. However, for the city 
dweller and more serious collector | am offering a few things that may

JOHNSON’S CACTUS SOIL 
CONDITIONER 
Of great assistance in keeping cacti in good 
health, it is designed to add the minerals ordi- 
nary garden soils often lack. Desert soils are 
often high in mineral content, for there is little 
rain to leach them away. A _ spoonful of my 
Conditioner placed about a Cactus plant and 
stirred lightly into the soil will often bring an 
ailing one back to health. Mix it with your 
potting soils.

JOHNSON’S CACTUS COMPOST 
Mix With Your Own Sand and Soil 
An economical compost for Cacti and Succu- 
lents which when mixed with equal or larger 
quantities of both sand and light loam makes a 
very suitable soil for all desert plants. Composed 
of our recleaned sclerophyllous leafmold, lime, 
gypsum in the proper proportions for all potted 
cacti. A light and bulky mixture, the same as 
we use in our own potting soils for both seed- 
ling and specimen plants. :

VOLCK SPRAY. An oi! spray recommended 
for any kind of scale insect and for mealy bug. 
These two insects are hard to kill, as they have 
a waxy covering which repels water. We have

put up in small bottles. 4-ounce bottle pre-

BLACK ROT PREVENTIVE 
With light waterings, fresh air and sun rot 
will not appear. If through too much watering 
plants turn black and watery its spread may be 
checked by saturating the top soil with a 
Semesan solution. It is useful also to spray tiny 
seedlings to prevent “damping off’’ or rotting.
