Andreas Hofer described on page 158 of this book, a variety which, however, is yet but little known, is one of the finest and most graceful delicate pink Cactus varieties we know. In Goldene Sonne we have its counterpart in forma- tion but with a larger flower and of a rich golden yellow with soft rose suffusion. $ each. Jean Chazot or Gay Paree. This French introduction is one of the very best all-around varieties that has yet been produced. A beautiful golden bronze with a faint touch of Nasturtium red and unsurpassed by any of the autumn tints as a cut flower. A free upright grower, long stiff, wiry stems hold the flowers well above the foliage in such a manner as to display their full beauty; it is one of the most prolific to flower, coming into bloom early and continuing in good condition to the end of the season. 75 cts. each. Koh-I-Noor. Maroon, and at times so dark as to be nearly black. The flower texture has a pronounced velvety sheen which adds greatly to its beauty. In form, a perfect Hybrid Cactus, the blossoms very large and deep with perfect centre throughout the season. $ each. Lolita Velasco.

We should hesitate to designate any one of them as the best white on all points, but if we had to select one individual sort, we would take this splendid variety which is composed of long straight petals which form into a flower of perfect shape. $ ea
