TOOTH PICK CACTUS 
Ferocactus visnaga 
The spines are used in Mexico for toothpicks. Very 
pretty as a small plant, the body blue-grey, and the 
crown often filled with wool. With age the plant makes 
a noble specimen, in fact, is pretty at all times. Very 
sandy soil, moderate to frugal waterings.

AN ATTRACTIVE LATHHOUSE 
Mrs. Jean S. Painter, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., writes: 
“A picture of my new lathhouse so you can see how 
your plants look away from home. They are all plants 
I have gotten from you, some as long as ten years 
ago.’’ A lathhouse is fine for Summer care. 

EASTER LILY CACTI 
ECHINOPSIS 
These are old favorites for window gardens. 
The blossoms are shaped somewhat like Easter 
Lilies, but with many rows of ruffled petals. 
The flowers are white or various shades of pink 
and quite large, some up to 10 inches. The 
plants range from 2 inches to as much as 18 
inches in height when very old. They flower 
profusely even when small, and | have counted 
fifteen 8-inch blossoms open on one plant. 
Quite a sight! They have been hybridized and 
lately we have raised some very lovely varie- 
ties with orange-pink or red flowers. They are 
mostly native to Argentina. 
CULTURE. They have strong root systems and are 
vigorous growers. In pots I prefer to grow them in a 
sandy loam soil, feeding them lightly 3 or 4 times 
during Spring and Summer with our Cactus Food. 
Repot every second year, washing the roots clean and 
trimming them back. They are greatly invigorated and 
bloom more abundantly when so treated. Repotting 
cacti at the commencement of the growing season re- 
tards them very little. If the root systems are dam- 
aged by improper soil, too much watering or the 
iniquitous nematode repotting is surprisingly effective 
in rehabilitating them.
