In bulletin recently issued by the

cactus Is an example Of great drought
resistance. Plants with small leaf
surface are less likely to suffer in

roofing habits are more favorable than

other deep roofing plants avail them,

least affected by the drying out of the
surface soil. Plants that remain dor
