brilliant flowers. They may be solitary or form large clusters of 
short cylindric arms, generally 4 to 10 inches tall. The bright 
flowers are borne in Spring and may range from yellow and pink

best collection. They are particularly fine for outside planting

GYMNOCALYCIUM 
CHIN CACTUS 
Among the Chin Cacti are some of our pret- 
tiest plants as well as some that the beginner 
can flower with the greatest of ease. Many 
flower on the young growth—an advantage for 
the impatient. Thus as long as new growth is 
appearing flowers can be induced. They are 
native to South America, where they are found 
in the foothills and mountains. The lovely 
blossoms are in shades of white, pink, red and 
yellow and sometimes almost smother the 
plant. They are mostly small plants, seldom ex- 
ceeding a small orange in size, though a few 
may become larger. Many bloom when hardly 
an inch in diameter. 
CULTURE. They are of the simplest culture, lik- 
ing a sandy loam soil with 3 or 4 feedings of Cactus 
Food during Spring and Summer. Moderate waterings, 
with sun or a very light position, suit them well.
