. Illustrated catalogue of plants, bulbs, trees, Nurseries (Horticulture) Kentucky Louisville Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs. Tiger's Jaw Cactus. Phyllocactus, or Sword Cactus. PHYLLOCACTUS LATTIFOLIOUS. Is a magnificent night bloomer, old plants are known to have ha-1 twenty flow- ers open in one evening. They are twelve inches in diameter, pale yellow color, and very fragrant; a rapid grower and sure to bloom. Price for extra large plants 50 cents to $5 each. Mamillaria Applanita. None of the mamillarias will make a finer show than this one, in early spring, when covered with long, bright red berries, which appear between each tubercle, the flowers also appear at about the same time, making it doubly at- tractive. Will stand rather more water than any other cacti. 25 to 75 cents each. M. DECIPLENS. This is an early grown plant that will stand rough usage, and will freely produce its very large yellow flowers, lasting several days; spines slender and easy to handle; forms many heads, which can be removed and rooted in sand. 25 to 50 cents. M. PULVISPINA. Under this name we have received some of the most magnificent plants with the handsomest spines imaginable. They are of ivory white color at the base turning to purple toward the point, and are regu- larly curved toward the top of the plant. The large size and thickness of these spines show off to splendid ad- vantage over the fresh green color of the plant. We consider it one of the very finest in our collection, as re- gards beauty of form and spines. $1 each. M. MACROMERIS. This mamillarias is characterized by its very large tubercles and very long spines. It bears very fine double flowers, two and one-half by three and one-half inches across, of distinct carmine color; very effective plant. 15, 30 to 40 cents each. M. PECLINATA. A beautiful plant, bears very large yel- low flowers two and three-fourths inches in diameter when fully opened.
