A Thrifty Yearling 



Here is a year-old plant of one of Mr. Burbank's improved 



varieties of spineless cactus. So thrifty is this youngster that 



it will need to be considerably thinned by the removal of numerous 



slabs, if it is to attain symmetrical growth. But of course 



each discarded slab may serve as the basal slab 



of a new plant just like the parent.
