GYMNOCALYCIUM 
CHIN CACTI 
For those who enjoy cactus flowers I recommend the Chin 
Cacti, for they are amongst the surest and easiest to flower of 
all, Many of them flower almost all spring and summer. They 
are native to South America, where they are found in the 
foothills and mountains. The lovely flowers are in shades of 
white, pink, red and yellow, and sometimes almost smother the 
plant. They are mostly small plants, seldom exceeding an orange 
in size. Many bloom when scarcely an inch in diameter. 
Culture. They are of the simplest culture, liking a sandy 
loam soil with occasional feedings with Cactus Food. Mod- 
erate waterings and semi-shade suit them well.
