Growing and collecting CACTI and SUCCULENTS 
for mail-order customers since 1980. 
CACTI - the world’s most fascinating, and strange 
family of plants; native only to south-western Amer- 
ica and some S. W. Pacific islands.j--~—____, 
A few species are found in the U.Sf as far north 
as Montana, but the locale of origin; ‘undoubtedly {is,~ 
the great south-west of the U.S!: Lower Calif.,yand 
western Mexico—the central American‘ ‘ountries, and *) 
northern Pacific coastal areas ofS. America. ~ {955

be indigenous to stricly, desert country. They must! j 
have better than pure sand in which to thrive, and 
this “better place” is the edge of the desert stretches, 
the foothill country adjacent to sandy deserts, also 
the rolling, rocky terrain of the western coastal areas. 
I have collected and propagated these unpredict- 
able, nature’s oddities for over 30 years, the last 20 
of which, I have depended upon the help received 
from mail-order sales throughout America. Folks like 
you, who, by buying a few plants from me thru the 
years, have made it possible for me to carry on and 
attain this over-sized hobby-over 200,000 plants, all 
waiting for new homes. 
I have had the great privilege of sending many 
thousands of these wonderful plants, thru the mails, 
to homes, from Alaska to Florida; and others to foreign 
countries. Miniature cacti and succulent plants, estab- 
lished in small pottery or grouped in “Dish-gardens” 
have brought no little cheer to many shut-ins that are 
in my books as customers and in my heart as friends. 
Some, perhaps too few, but some, have found their 
way to prisoner's cells, and I am certain, brought 
with them, a smile from God. Can I send a few to 
your 
Thanks,
