thing to do. It may need to be transplanted 
and placed in a cool spot for some months 
with only the slightest spraying through the 
foliage. You will probably find that most of 
the roots have rotted off earlier and it will 
take time for the plant to make new ones. 
DON’T allow aphis, scale or mealybug to sap 
the vitality of your buds and plants. 
DON’T neglect your Epiphyllums when not in 
bloom—they can stand some neglect but they 
appreciate attention and will reward you 
when they are kept nicely groomed. 
DON’T forget to see that hanging baskets get 
sufficient water. 
DON’T remove more than 1/5 of the growth 
of an Epiphyllum plant at one time or 14 of 
the plant during the year. 
DON’T experiment on your plants until after 
you have raised Epiphyllums awhile. 
DON’T forget to read the instructions on the 
labels of insecticides and fertilizers before 
using. 
DON’T neglect to re-read the above from time 
to time.

NIGHT BLOOMING CACTUS 
There are many hundreds of forms of night- 
blooming cactus from the rugged desert types 
to those which can be found among the epi- 
phyllums. Any of these might be called by the 
public “Night-blooming Cereus.” A notable ex- 
ample is the so-called “Queen of the Night” 
which might be Peniocereus greggii, Seleni- 
oe macdonaldiae or Epiphyllum oxypet- 
alum. 
Among the sturdier varieties of night-bloom- 
ers are the following most of which are 
climbers: Selenicereus, Hylocereus, Harrisias, 
Nyctocereus, Eriocereus. 
We can supply unrooted cuttings of the fol- 
lowing at 50c each or 5 for $2.00: Hylocereus 
undatus, Hylo. ocamponis, Selenicereus mac- 
donaldiae, Seleni. spinulosus, Seleni. vagans,

cereus guelichii, Nyctocereus nycticalus, Nycto- 
cereus serpentinus, Harrisia tortuosa, Harrisia 
martinii, Harrisia pomanensis. 
Among the night-blooming varieties of epi- 
phyllums are: E. oxypetalum, E. guatemalense,

opetalum. Most of these and others will be
