HOW TO TREAT CACTI.

A Beautiful Plant Needing Judicious Han dling at First. j When plants of cacti are received ■ I from the dealers, cut off the dead roots, i have ready four or five inch pots half filled with charcoal or broken crockery, j or both. Over this place the soil, which should be quite sandy. Plant your cacti close together in the sand, and as soon as abundant roots are formed plant in small pots of sandy soiL The pots ought only to be large enough to hold the roots. " Be very careful not to overwater at any time, especially before the pot is well filled with roots. If cacti are given this treatment and the plants are healthy when received, there need be no dread of failure. When the plants have made good growth, they may be moved to large pots, giving good soiL The secret of success is to get an abundance of roots. It is an excellent plan to plant a dozen or more different sorts in a pot or bos 5 inches in depth and 7 or 8 inches in diameter. Halloacti growers would study the habits of the different varieties as they thrive in their native homes, there would be no cause for complaint on ac count of failure, for when acquainted with their habits they are the easiest plants to be cared for. Mexico produces more than half the varieties of the pacti in cultivation, and nearly all of them grow on the ground best drained by na ture—from the highest mountain peaks down to the tablelands. After a rain not a single drop of stagnant water is left around the plant. Some of the vari eties delight to grow between the rocks without any visible earth to feed the plant, and among these are seen many curious forms. The plants when forcibly pulled out appear so pressed that they seem to have been molded. Another peculiarity is that the -ma jority of cacti are found on the south side of the mountains, and in their na tive haunts will stand a year or more without rain, but as hardy as the plants appear ia4Ms'"respect mo§t kinds will jiot-Btand any rough handling or bruis ing. After they have been bruised they will appear sound for awhile, but will eventually rot when in the hands of an amateur who endeavors to revive them by frequent watering. Obtain good, sound plants, ascertain if possible whether the different varieties are found in the shady forests of South America or the hot sandy plains of Mexioo and treat accordingly, handle the various specimens carefully, give thorough drainage and water sparingly, and suc cess will be assured.
