CENTURY PLANT BUDS
AT SHAW'S GARDEN.
Rare Bloom Will Be Seen This

The plant is of the species known as the
"Agave toneiana." 1t is not as long-iired
as other species. particularly the Asave
Americana, which is the true century plant
and frequently lives sixty or seventy-tve
years after the final bloom appears.
The Americana, when in bloom. differs
considerably from the plant whose flower
