twenty years, while in colder climates
the period may range from forty to
fifty years. There are many species OF

Mexico, where il is called the maguey
The plant furnishes 'pulque." the ma.
tional drink OF Mexico. At the time OF
blooming the plant throws up single

great flower stalk draws all the sap
and vigor from the body Of the plant,
which soon withers and dies.
