ORCHID CACTUS 
BLOOMING SIZE PLANTS—Since we do not specialize in growing Orchid Cactus 
for bloom only, such plants are of rather “hit and miss’ sizes and varieties, making it 
impossible for us to make out a price list for the thousands of plants which we have 
on hand. We price assorted plants only, of our selection, but we will try our best to 
please you. These are all fine plants, priced both according to rarity and variety. 
Please state the COLORS desired and we will select for you the best available in your 
requested price range. If you so desire, we would be glad to have you send us a list 
of the varieties which you already have, so that we may not duplicate them. 
BEIPEY LLUM SOCIETY 
The Epiphyllum Society of America is an international organization whose mem- 
bers are enthusiastic devotees of the Epiphyllums and their hybrids, better known as 
“Ochid Cacti.” According to the by-laws of the Society, the membership is open to 
any person genuinely interested in Epiphyllums, and the objects of the Society are: 
the interchange of ideas by Epiphyllum growers and collectors, the standardization 
of the names of hybrid Epiphyllums, the promotion of public interest in Epiphyllums, 
the origination and proper naming of worth while new varieties. Regular meetings 
are held on the third Thursdays of alternate months, beginning in January of each 
year. All meetings are open to the public. Dues are $2.00 per year, including the 
“Bulletin.” 
RECOMMENDED BOOKS 
We highly recommend the “Epiphyllum Handbook” by Haselton. This book on 
Epiphyllums and their hybrids, gives their history and parentage as well as the 
flower parts and how to make descriptions. Complete cultural and propagation 
information. Explains hybridizing with pictures of plants used. Contains 250 pages,
