X. kct Ass© CACTI are among the most singular productions of the vegetable kingdom, combining curious and grotesque forms with rare beauty of flowers. Our collection comprises most of the best kinds, and the plants we send out have all been established, have good roots, and are free from worms and scale. We have also made arrangements by which vire get large quantities at much lower rates than formerly, and we are, therefore, able to reduce the price very considerably. In growing Cacti in pots, give them plenty of drainage, and use a sandy or pebbly soil, mixed with a third of rich loam. During the winter months they may be kept very nearly dry; never, under any circumstances, allow the soil in the pots to be very wet, or injury to the plant will be sure to fol- low. Cacti require but little care, and a collection of them is sure to prove very interesting and satisfactory. They are also largely used for bedding out in summer, and for rockeries. For these purposes, we can make special prices on large quantities. CEREUS. This genus comprises upwards of 200 species, among which are the giants of the Cactus family.
