ORCHID CACTI 
LSO called Epiphyllums, they bear the show- 
iest blossoms of al! cacti. Their culture is 
similar to that of geraniums. They like a well 
lighted window and a cool rather than hot 
atmosphere. Quite easy to grow and flower. 
Pot in a porous, spongy compost of peat, sand 
and leafmold with some sandy loam. Water 
before the soil becomes dry. Flower in April, 
May and June on last years “leaves.”
