CACTUS FLOWERS 
Lovely blossoms are here, along with bizarre, decorative 
foliage forms. The flowers may be lemon, golden, cinnabar, 
pure red, purple, rose, pink, or in pastel tones, and in few 
plants are they more showy. Though mostly grown as pot 
plants, it will be noted that some of the kinds, with slight 
protection, will winter in northern gardens. 
EPIPHYLLUM PEERLESS HYBRIDS— 
w. Phyllocactus. Certainly the freest flow- 
ering of any Cactus group, and perhaps 
the showiest in bloom among all house 
plants, are these, the Epiphyllums, illus- 
trated opposite. Magnificent blossoms in 
cream, pink, orange, scarlet, crimson, 
lavender and purple. 10 seeds for 25c; 50 
seeds for $1.00.

CACTUS WINTER-HARDY KINDS—Here are year-around 
kinds for your garden, species that will endure much cold, 
some of them temperatures well below zero. When you carry 
them through outside, be sure they are in a well-drained 
position. Then in late autumn, after the pads and stems have 
shrunken and wrinkled to their natural over-winter state, 
mulch with coarse litter, as cornstalks or evergreen boughs, 
something that will not mat down and become soggy. “‘kt’’ 
culture. MAMMILLARIA VIVIPARA—Grouped, tufted green

with spines. Gay purple flowers. Fully winter-hardy at Old

3 THE CALLA LILIES 4 
Wonderfully satisfactory as pot plants for winter bloom 
or they will handle with ease for flowers in the summer 
garden. Don’t think, though, that you can have blossoms 
from the same bulbs both winter and summer. It won’t 
work—at one season or the other the bulbs must rest. You 
can make your choice as to when, keeping the tubers dormant 
in a cool cellar during the ‘‘off’”? season. ZANTEDESCHIA. 
BLACK-THROAT CALLA—Z. melanoleuca. eS
