SCHLUMBERGERA 
The Schlumbergera is very similar to the Zygocactus in 
plant growth and culture except that the flowers are sym- 
metrical and have narrower petals on very short flower tube. 
Most of them appear at Easter time thus giving rise to the name 
Easter cactus. We can supply Schlumbergeras only as avail- 
able. 
SCHL. RUSSELLIANA. Sometimes known as Christmas 
Cactus—flowers as late as March. 35c to $1.50. 
SCHL. RUSSELLIANA var. MAKOYANUM. Larger links 
with 6 to 8 areoles along the edges; spines are wanting or are 
not readily visible at the apex. Flowers are a cardinal shade of 
red. Limited. Rooted cuttings 75s each. 
SCHL. GAERTNERI. Flowers of bright crimson; there are 
some brown soft spines at the apex of the links. Limited. 
Rooted cuttings 75c each. 
EPIPHYLLANTHUS OBTUSANGULUS 
This is an interesting form of jointed or link-leaf cactus. A 
normal plant has the appearance of a very minute opuntia 
with zygomorphic flowers. This might make an interesting 
point at which to start hybridization. Our stock is limited. If 
interested write. 
DISOCACTUS 
EICHLAMII. Epiphytic plant with small slender tubular 
flowers of bright rosy magenta—not of easy culture. Limited. 
Small rooted cuttings $1.00. 
RHIPSALIS 
Those interested in other forms of epiphytic plants should 
certainly acquire a few Rhipsalis. They make graceful, excel- 
lent baskets. Culture is the same as for Epiphyllums. Flowers 
are very small in most varieties and not highly colored though 
there are rich creams and orange flowered sorts. The flowers 
are small to minute, usually numerous and make a nice show- 
ing when in full bloom. 
Plant growth may be fine thread-like as in Capilliformis 
and Cassutha or larger pencil-like branches of Neves-Armondii 
on to very broad wavy foliage such as Oblonga and Crispata 
which are similar in growth to epiphyllums. We have about 
35 varieties from which we can supply unrooted cuttings at 
present at 50c each. 
The following which are listed here in order from fine 
pencil-like to broad flat growth may be supplied as rooted 
cuttings at 50c each or 5 unrooted, our choice, $2.00. 
Cereuscula Shaferi Rhombea 
Clavata Teres Elliptica 
Capilliformis Neves-Armondii Oblonga 
Cassutha Houlletiana Crispata 
Virgata Heteroclada 
PSEUDORHIPSALIS MACRANTHA 
This lovely plant has flowers many times larger than most 
Rhipsalis, in fact, the few-petaled flowers are about the size of 
Chiapasia Nelsonii. Flowers are generally light yellow some- 
times very deep yellow, blooming freely in the fall and winter. 
Plant growth resembles many of the Epiphyllums. It makes an 
excellent hanging basket or pot plant. Rooted cuttings $1.00 
each. 
CHIAPASIA 
CHIAPASIA NELSONII. A monotypic genus with lilac-pink 
flowers appearing on the lateral branches. The flowers are 
small though very attractive. It blooms very early in the 
spring. As a graceful basket plant it is greatly admired the 
year around. Rooted cuttings 50c. Strong young plants $1.00. 
The Chiapasia has been crossed with the Epiphyllum pro- 
ducing plants with small flowers of various sizes and colors. 
We are propagating Mr. Knebel’s introductions.
