Succulents 
Tees colorful and fascinating desert plants are becoming increasingly popular with our patrons. 
Most of them are easy to grow in the window garden and none of them have spines. Succu- 
lents belong to many families of plants while Cacti belong only to the Cactaceae. 
found mostly in Mexico and South Africa. Some are popular because of their lovely or curious 
flowers as the Echeverias and Starfish Flowers, others because of their handsome leaves, some 
covered with plush, some delicately colored or powdered white and rose. 
Culture. A soil of one part easily crumbled loam, two parts sand, one part leafmold is suitable, though any 
loam soil will do. Water only lightly when newly planted, watering again only when dry. Glive plenty of fresh 
air. The more shade they are grown in the less water they will need.
