Cactus only excepted. Illustrated opposite.

of big blossoms in brilliant pink. It’s not the easiest plant in 
the world, yet with care and commonsense it can be grown 
with satisfactory success in almost any sunny window. We 
offer young plants, not quite large enough to give their first 
flowers, at each $1.25. Botanically, Nopalxochia phyllanthoides.
