It is very easy to manage, and will retain life for a year without roots or potting. It is seldom more than five inches high, and often grows in clusters as shown in our cut on the next page. Nearly always blooms soon after potting. 20c. each: 3 for ECHINOCERIOUS PEC- TINATUS, GRAFTED. Echlnocereus Enneaoanthus—Stems of a fresh green color, branching and often growing i dense masses. Laige, fragrant flowers, three inches in diameter and bright crimson. A most attractive plant, a very free bloomer and should not be omitted from any order. 25c. each. Echlnocereus Pectlnatus—In this we have a perfect little jewel, and decidedly one of the very best plants for blooming that can possibly be obtained. Such wonderful and persistent bloomers are they that the plants will actually bud and bloom while lying on a dry shelf where their roots have not been near soil for months. Strong single plants often bear 12 and 15 flowers, and open four and five at one- time, and small plants will bloom profusely also. A large cluster has bepn known to give 75 flowers in one season The flowers are enormous, often inches across, of a beautiful bright purplish-pink and so fragrant that one flower will scent a whole room. The plant itself is simply e-xquisite, the spines being pure white, forming little rosettes with yellow eyes, and so closely pressed to the stem that they can be handled without harm. We have not another sort that we can say so much in piaiseof. Nice plants of blooming size, each; 3 for ; 6 for 60c.; very large and fine, each ; 3
