grow, having vigorous root systems and often rapid growth. They vary greatly in the way they 
grow, some forming immense branched trees almost 50 feet tall, while others may be tiny species 
clustering for protection at the feet of their lordly kin. The climbing Queen of the Night and her 
relatives frequent wet tropical jungles; clambering high in the trees, opening their snowy blos- 
soms in the airy lofts above the jungle floor. The tree-like varieties are mostly seen on the lower 
slopes of the mountains and mesas, a few ascending almost to the snowline. They seem to be at 
their best where it is temperate or warm and where there is a fairly moist summer period, although 
this may be followed by long months of drought. During the few months of the year when the 
rains and the sun are favorable they make their growth, expand their glorious blossoms and mature 
As the rains cease the plants are plump with their stored 
moisture, ready to face their lonely vigil through the parched and blistering months to come.

BEAUTIFUL CLEAN PLANTS 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I received my order last week and every cactus 
is simply beautiful. I am very, very satisfied. The 
plants are so healthy and strong looking, so nice 
and clean. I have never bought cacti anywhere 
that were so healthy and beautiful. This is my 
third order and I will want more this summer. I 
also want to thank you for the gift cactus sent. 
Thanks again, 
MRS. A. F. WEYROUGH.
