CACTUS BOOKS 
These fascinating plants have a most interesting and comprehensive literature. You are 
missing half the pleasure of this amazing hobby if you do not have these illustrated and instruc- 
tive reference books to turn to when you want to learn further about your acquisitions or 
intended purchases. You will learn more about the countries from which they come, about the 
conditions under which they grow and what other amateurs have learned about them. There has 
been a greatly stimulated interest in these plants since the termination of the war and many 
new books have appeared and many more are in contemplation.

STONE FACES 
LITHOPS 
These beautiful, interesting and _ entirely 
unique plants have no counterparts in the plant 
world. Many are so brightly colored they do 
not resemble what one thinks of as a plant 
but rather rainbow colored pebbles. They come 
from the barren deserts of Southwest Africa 
and imitate the rocks among which they are 
found. The flat tops of the two joined leaves 
are beautifully marbled or lined with contrast- 
ing colors according to the species. Sandy 
soil, sunny, airy position, never overwater, A 
dozen plants can be grown in a 6” pan.
