plants per pound including packing materials. 
Minimum foreign. orders (not including Can- 
ada) are $5. 
PLASTIC LABELS 
Permanent labels for plants poses a very dif- 
ficult problem for the collector. Wooden labels 
while quite satisfactory do not of course last 
indefinitely. These plastic labels last for many 
years and outside of copper or zinc labels, 
which are difficult to affix to the plant, are 
the best solution | have found to date. Lead 
pencil writing lasts very well indoors or in the 
greenhouse. Outdoors it eventually weathers 
off. Grease pencils are useless. Water proof 
india drawing ink has proven the best medium 
for permanent labeling.

JOHNSON’S CACTUS SOIL 
CONDITIONER 
Of great assistance in keeping cacti in good 
health, it is designed to add the minerals ordi- 
nary garden soils often lack. Desert soils are 
often high in mineral content, for there is little 
rain to leach them away. A spoonful of my 
Conditioner placed about a Cactus plant and 
stirred lightly into the soil will often bring an 
ailing one back to health. Mix it with your 
potting soils.
