This year we have some very fine types of the 
handsome white haired Old Man Cacti. These plants 
are all very scarce now and probably will remain so. 
Ours are snowy white, without blemishes, and have 
excellent healthy root systems. Much of the seed I 
collected in South America. We have two large 
houses devoted to tiny cactus seedlings from those 
sprouted to ones ready to go outdors.

PLEASURE FROM HER CACTI 
“‘Received my Cacti and they were very lovely plants. 
I was much pleased with them. My plants are grow-

now have 75 different kinds and hope to make it 
100 soon.’’
