MAKES SMALL FORTUNE
IN GROWING CAGTI
Nothing Else Would Grow
in Orchard.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 17.-Quietly and
unostentatiOusiy a business enterprise
of novel and unique nature has been
built up I'm these parts, and, though ii
is not large enough to attract a great
deal of attention, II is being carried on
successfully from a financial point of
view. Mention is made of il 70 illustrate
the fact that this part Of the world
has possibilities that few people have
ever dreamed of, and also TO illustrate
the further fact that II a man cannot
do one thing he can do another A man
who has good brains I'm his head can
often turn TO a financial profit the very
things that are considered OF least value
and a detriment to the country
Nearly everybody who has lived in
Phoenix long is acquainted with DR.. II
E. Kunze, better known locally as the
bug catcher" DIR. Kunze is a man of
refinement and education. though he is
very quiet and unassuming. He takes TO
scientific things as a Guck does 10 water.
and came herr few years ago from
New York. Noting the many bugs. but
terfiies and Insects here that are rarely
found in other parts. he began to sys-
tematically and industriousIy collect
them and send them to Eastern colIec-
lOFSs SCHOOLS, ETC., ana IL Is understood
that his work was NpIeasingIy remunera-
tive. for he knew first how to catch
and preserve his specimens and next
how to classify them.
Finally he bought a little piece of
ground down near the river. a mile
south Of Washington Street, on Seventh
Avenue, intending 10 plant an orchard.
He tried faithfully for a year or two.
but with poor success He found the
soil in that locality was worthless for
fruit trees. and the few that did grow
were a sickly lot.
1t then occurred to him that If he
couldn't raise anything else he could
grow cacti, so he went into that busi-
ness. Now he has a cacti nursery. and
Is making money out or II. He supplies
local people when they want cacti for
decorative purposes. but his main busi-
ness is in the large Eastern cities and
in Europe. He has been sending plants
to Germany for the last four years. and
last spring he made a shipment Of about
five thousand pounds.
Dr. Kunze knows as much about cacti
as he does about bugs. and when he
meets a new variety he prizes Il as a
prospector does a promising gold ledge
He now has plants from all over the
Southwest, Arizona particularly One
variety he goes clear TO the Mexican
line for, and can find nowhere else.
