Perhaps the most easily grown of the Cactus family are Opuntias but tli< s< are not to be recommended for â¢window culture, on account of their full equipment of barbed spines. Ceretis fhtgelliformis, Rhipsalis, and Epiphylluras on their own roots, flourish well and are exceedingly attractive. But the best of all are the Phyl- locacti; these are without spines, grow vigorously, and produce an abundance of blooms if they are given a sunny window and the necessary amount of water. Cactuses generally are subject to insects and fungous troubles. One of the most common pests is a scale in- sect. The safest way to rid the plants of these is to clean them off with a small brush which has bristles of only moderate stiffness. The mealy bug may be easily disposed of by dissolving 5 grams castile soap in hot â water, and adding 1 quarts of alcohol ; then add 100 grams of fusel oil; apply with a very &ne spray. James Gurney.
