The "Gravity" Cactus 



This very commendable member of Mr. Burbank's spine- 

 less colony has been named the "Gravity." The name was sug- 

 gested by the fact that many of the slabs tend to assume a perpendicu- 

 lar position, as if they were suspended by invisible wires and 

 under influence of gravity. A plant of this kind grows about 

 the largest possible number of slabs on a given area.
