ORCHID CACTUS 
“Gloria” 
Oo CACTI are among the most spectacularly beautiful of all flowers. Some are 
as big as dinner plates and of the most brilliant colors. Glorious burnt orange, 
effulgent electric violets, bright pinks, snowy whites and bicolors. A feast for the 
epicure. They are wel! within the reach of the window gardener and no description 
can do them justice. This variety, ‘‘Gloria,’’ is very lovely and free flowering

This handbook of cactus lore describes part 
of the largest available collection in the world. 
In our collection are most of the known genera, 
with many rare and new species, some yet to be 
described. It is the result of 40 years of study, 
collecting and exploration. New plants are con- 
tinually being received and propagated, to be 
offered in the future. Since the basic purpose of 
the collection is scientific and also to further the 
interest in these extraordinary plants we ask the 
above 25 cents (which is only a part of the cost), 
to help pay for future editions. Publishing costs 
are now terrific.
