CACTI 
The following cacti belong to many groups and 
unless specifically mentioned require much the 
same treatment liking a porous soil from which 
the water drains quickly and light or sunny posi- 
tion. Water moderately so the soil is dry in about 
5 days. 
SHADE LOVING CACTI 
Quite a number of tree dwelling (epiphytic) 
cacti require some shade in summer. They require 
about the same culture as a begonia or African 
Violet and make interesting window plants. They 
prefer cool treatment as they are mountain inhabi- 
tants. Pot in our Jungle Mix soil. 
EASTER CACTUS HYBRIDS 
These are crosses between the brilliant Easter 
Cactus and the lovely Rhipsalidopsis rosea. They

A NEW ORLEANS COLLECTION 
Mrs. Fontcuberta whose collection was start- 
ed in 1947 gets a great deal of enjoyment from 
her cactus collection. Her pleasure is in intro- 
ducing them to others and helping start their 
collections.

FEATHER CACTUS 
It bears no spines. 
Certainly one of the most unique of cacti Mamillaria 
plumosa has always been very scarce. The spines have 
been transmutted into curling feathers. Snowy white 
and down soft they completely cover the plant. The 
small plants form clusters the youngsters nestling 
under the skirts of the mother. Quite sandy soil 15¢ 
and only part sun. Larger $1. Nice...............---20--:--- 
YELLOW CHIN CACTUS 
The Chin Cacti are amongst my favorites. They are 
easy to grow and flower freely in the spring. Gymno- 
calycium leeanum has lemon yellow blossoms. The plants 
are low, rounded with broad ribs and appressed spines. 
Old plants are almost flush with the soil and around 
them appear a circle of small plants. . 50
