The Cactus family contains some of the most singular and grotesque, as well as the most beautiful production of the vegetable world. The flowers of many of the species are most gorgeous, of others, the most delicate and beautiful known to botanists. Of distinctive and striking forms, there is no end in this strange family. Nearly all the species require but little care, aud will endure any amount of ill-treatment and will thrive and blossom where other plants starve. The plants themselves are a bright green during sum- mer and winter, while their individuality is so marked and their manner of growth so curious and unique that no one who has ever cultivated them can fail to appreciate and admire them. As a house plant they have no superiors, grouped with bright coloied stones in the form of a rockery or even massed artificially in a large flower pot or fernery base they make a most handsome and unique parlor ornament. They may also be grown successfully out of doors, forming most beautiful and gro- tesque objects.
