The following is one Of many
similar instances OF the rapidity
with which our real estate and
house building transactions are
conducted. In one day u resident
of East Los Angeles sold his house
and lot, the purchaser moving in,
and the former occupant began the
erection Of new house gu Ill t.i.
adjoining lot. In the same neigh
borhOOd, not many months since,
a cottage of seven rooms was occu-
pied by its owner In nine days af-
ter the contract for building it WAS
made.
Mr.. o. H. Bliss informs us that
on Friday last his Century Plant
(Agave Anaericana). the Maghey
Of Mexico, commenced to put forth
its flower stalk and at thu end of
"a hours the stalk had grown 16
inches. How long it will be be-
fore the blossom appears he does
not know, but, from the rate at
which the stalk is growing, he
thinks it will bloom in about u
month. The plant grows in open
ground and IL now fifteen years
old. In Mexico, where large plan
tati0ns are grown for the liquor it
produces-''pulca" before fern en-
tation and "mescaln nfter.-it
blooms annually, we believe, or at
least every two or three years.
Mr.. Bliss has another variety of
the same plant in his gardens
which he also expects will bloom
this season.
