ROSE PLA!ID CACTUS 
This is a very dainty small Chin Cactus quite bright- 
ly banded in copper green and cream. The blossoms are 
large in proportion to the plant and are very freely 
borne throughout late spring and summer up to quite 
cold weather. Even small plants carry flowers far larger 
than themselves. Gymnocalycium Friederickii’s blossoms 
are a lovely shade of pink. Though flowering size plants 
are easily grown it will always be scarce as small plants 
are very slow in growth. 4 year old

ECHINOCACTUS 
One of the oldest cactus genera. Described 
first in 1827, to which many plants now placed 
in other genera were originally assigned. As de- 
fined by Britton and Rose only those with pun- 
gent, persistent, scales on the flower tubes 
and with fruit densely covered with white wool, 
remain in the genus. Globular or cylindric plants 
with few to many ribs, top clothed with wool. 
Some grow to immense size, up to 3 meters 
high and must weigh many hundred pounds.

WALLFLOWER CROWN 
The Rebutias are very lovely small flowering 
plants. The blossoms come out from the base or 
older areoles and the plants flower over a very 
long period. Rebutia Kupperiana is very attrac- 
tive particularly when the young spines are 
forming for they are half bright yellow, half- 
dark brown against the copper green of the 
plant body. They cluster freely but never be- 
come very large. Give them plenty of water and 
a sunny or light position.

INDIAN HEAD 
The flower buds appear as twists of cocoa brown fur 
which swell and burst some morning into widely ex- 
panded, glittering yellow blossoms, the red tipped stig- 
ma surrounded by minute stamens which roll down tight- 
ly when a bee lands in their midst. Notocactus Ottonis 
is ap cena in that it blooms from spring till fall.

FEROCACTUS 
This fine genus, the true Barrel Cacti, was 
split off from Echinocactus by Britton and Rose 
because of the lack of felt in the crown and 
the naked scales of the tube and ovary. The 
plants when young are globular, later becom- 
ing tall-cylindric. Ribs numerous, acute; areoles 
felted with stout, straight or hooked spines 
often brightly colored. They need a light, sandy 
soil (heavy clay soils remain wet too long), 
moderate watering and a sunny position.
