blossoms appear in the woolly center in September. It 
grows well in clean sand to which a small amount 
of leafmold has been added. It likes a sunny, airy 
window, watering lightly only when dry. Grows ex- 
ceedingly slow. Our specimens are over (0)

SCARLET CROWN CACTUS 
Rebutia grandiflora is the largest flowered of the 
Crown Cacti and one of the choicest window garden 
plants. It blooms very freely in the spring over quite 
a long time. New buds appear as old blossoms fade. 
It likes a light position but protected from the hot 
mid-day sun. Water well but allow them to dry out 
between waterings. Spongy sandy composts which suit 
them dry out quite rapidly and sometimes have to be 
soaked in a pan of water to make sure they are 
really moist. If possible, when ordered early, we send 
Rebutias in bud. Large $1.
