ANDREWS, BOULDER, COLORADO, U. S. A. 1900: Press of H. B. Millard, Boulder, Colorado. TO THE READER. In handing yon our Catalogue for 1900, your at- tention is especially invited to the reports of exper- ience from our patrons with Colorado plants. Dur- ing the past five years we have introduced more real- ly new plants and seeds than any other concern in the United States. The almost phenominal success which is every where reported for them has been very gratifying, and we predict even greater results as they become better known. Some kinds which have not succeeded we have omitted from this list for further trial. Where no particular suggestions are given, we consider the varieties suited to ordinary garden con- ditions. We have the greatest confidence in the list of varieties we now offer, and consider our descriptions to be strictly conservative. Hardy Cacti and Colora- do Wild Flowers are no longer An Experiment* Others are enjoying them at their own homes; you can do so. Do not let distance deter you from sending us your order. We ship to very distant points with perfect success; our excellent pack- ing and quality of stock explain why. The reader will kindly note the following Instructions for Ordering:* Our prices are as low as the quality and rarity of stock will allow, and are net for quantities named. We will pay postage on seeds to any part of the world, and on plants at single rates anywhere in the United States. Add ten per cent to price per dozen for postage on larger quanti- ties, except on Cacti to which this rule cannot apply. We recommend shipment by express (or by freight for Cacti) as we are able then to send larger stock, extra plants, fuller packing, etc. Plants go at a special reduced rate by express. Owing to postal restrictions, articles exceeding eight ounces in weight cannot be forwarded to Eu- rope by mail. Be particular to give shipping directions when you order, keep your seed and plant orders separate, in- clude your name and address legibly written, if not jointed, every time you write, enclose full pay- ment by any safe method with your orders, and we will do the best we can for you now and every time. We reserve the right to substitute in small mat- ters when necessary, unless directed otherwise. Premiums* We give liberal premiums to our custom- ers, but reserve the right to make our own selection of extras. Fumigation. As the state of Colorado makes no pro- vision for the inspection of nursery stock, we have D. M. AKDKEWS, BOULDEE, COLOEADO. 3 provided for the absolute protection of our customers by erecting a fumigating house where all stock li- able to insect pest is thoroughly fumigated with Hy- drocyanic Acid Gas before shipment. While we are confident that no dangerous pests exist in this vicinity we have adopted this as a positive safeguard. Thanking you heartily for former favors and awaiting your commands. Yery truly yours, D. M. ANDREWS. Boulder, Colorado. U. S. A. EXPERIENCE. Chicago. April 26. '98. Mr. D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo.

Very little attention had been given to the hardy species of Cacti until a few seasons ago there was brought together and introduced by us a collection, large and varied 8nough to afford new and interesting possibilities in permanent planting. At all seasons their presence is unique, unconventional and beautiful, and while in bloom they are unrivaled in splendor. They have the advantage of resisting both drought and extreme cold, and have succeeded to a remarkable degree, even in the humid cli- mate of England which is perhaps the most trying of all. They have been subjected frequently to a temperature of Twenty Degrees Below Zero without harm. The chief precau- tion to be observed is to avoid stagnant moisture at the roots especially during winter, On the plains the clumps are usual- ly found growing upon a slight mound produced by the lodge- ment of dust, sand and other debris blown about by the wind. This will suggest a soil in which humus and sand are promin- ent factors; to which broken stone, limestone preferred, may be added with good results. The low mound culture may well be imitated. The Opuntias are especially adapted to planting extensive areas which would be too dry or sandy for anything else. Enemies. Cacti are remarkably free from disease and insect pest. Hotting off, usually in winter, seems to be the only dis- ease. It is caused by excess of moisture or by acidity of soil. Remedy, provide more perfect drainage, avoid organic matter in soil except leaf -mold, and add lime to the soil in the form of old mortar or plaster, broken limestone etc., but never quick lime nor lime recently slacked. Rotting seldom effects any but Echinocacti. We know of no insect enemy except a mealy bug on some Opuntias. It may be destroyed by tobacco-water or alcoholic extract of pyrethrum applied with a brush. Where we discov- er traces we fumigate with hydrocyanic gas before shipment. Notes of Experience with Hardy Cacti. The following from so prominent authority as Mr. William Falconer, Superintend ent of Schenley Park, formerly Editor of Gardening, etc., should have weight with our readers. Department of Public Works. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 17, 1899- Mr. D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo. Dear Sir: About the Cacti that we have had from you at different times, this is the plain truth : every shipment re- ceived—we have had several barrels of Cacti from you— has giv- en us much pleasure and satisfaction as regards the freshness, D. M. ANDREWS, BOULDER, COLORADO. 5 fullness and excellence of the plants, the good condition in which they reached us, and the very moderate price charged for them. All have been planted out of doors remaining un- protected summer and winter, and all have been perfectly hardy. The Opuntias of every species and variety obtained from you have grown well and increased wonderfully fast, in fact are as fat and flourishing as if at home in their native wilds. The Echinocacti have proven hardy enough but they rot off a good deal in winter. [See under Enemies above.J I would not advise planting Echinocacti extensively out of doors, but in certain localities as on bleak, exposed banks and about rocky knolls, Opuntias and Yucca angustifolia can be used unsparingly with perfect success. I am using them in this way. Very truly yours, William Falconer. From THE CACTUS JOURNAL, London England, Aug., 1899. A Day at Kew Gardens among the Cacti. By a Member of the National Cactus Society. # * # At length we left this most interesting house, and went to find Mr. Watson, the sub-curator, who very kindly received us, and, after a most interesting conversation, took us to see what I think the greatest success of Cactus growing in Great Britain. This was a number of small beds of Cacti out of doors. Each different kind had a bed to itself. They were protected on one side by the wall of the long Palm House, and the beds were formed between the small buttresses, and were about eight feet long and two feet wide, raised perhaps six inches above the usual ground level by rock work. Most of the plants had been out of doors for several years and were hardy kinds from Colorado, Nevada, etc., usually found growing at great elevations. They were in robust health and looked really • charming. In some cases the plants complete- ly filled the beds, and very little of the soil could be seen. One of the beds of Opuntias had a number of flowers on. The kinds experimented upon were, Mamil- larias, vivipara, and Xuttallii (Missouriensis) Echinocereus viridiflorus, Echinocactus Sim- pson, that looks remarkably like a Mamillar- ia, Opuntias in variety, including Camanchica, Engelmann polycanthia or Missouriensis, rafinesqui (mesacantha) etc. If those who have the convenience would try to grow a few Cacti out of doors, I feel sure they would be well repaid for their trouble. Section I. Round or Cylindrical Sorts. Cactus {Mamillaria) Missouriensis. Mamillaria, Plant dwarf, blooming when very small, covered with elongated tubercles each tipped with a star of gray spines.

Price for medium size plants 25 cents, §2.50 per dozen, postage 20 cents. Extra large size 50 cents each. Section IL Opuntias or flat stemmed sorts.

The spines are abundant, very long and stout and of a fine purple or black color; fruit deep crimson, flowers yellow, shaded or- ange. The plant grows rapidly and forms large symetrical clumps.

They may be planted in little clumps among other plants or space may be given entirely to them. The Calocliortus may be planted among tulips, or other early bulbs, and thus fill the bed with bloom a second time. As most bulbs begin root- growth in autumn it is unwise to move them in the spring and we request especial attention to the following IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for ordering. Send your order for bulbs note, and on a separate sheet of paper. We collect but few bulbs except on previous orders, so we may be D. M. ANDEEWS, BOULDER, COLORADO. 27 obliged to decline late orders.
