Owing to a big rush of funeral work, 

 I had little chance of seeing much of 

 George Otto, but he certainly does a 

 thriving business at 1250 Fourth street. 



A Cactus Farm. 



A 12-acre farm, all planted to spine- 

 less cactus, is an unusual sight and 

 worth the journey out on the primitive 

 railway that winds through the lovely 

 El Cajon valley, east of the city. This 

 is the property of Hugo Thum. There 

 are about 60,000 plants, some young 



slabs ' ' just rooting, others large speci- 

 mens eight feet high. Just now the 

 crop is being taken, Mexican laborers 

 cutting the plants off to about ten 

 leaves. It is probably difficult for east- 

 ern people to appreciate the value of 

 a cactus crop, but in the desert sec- 

 tion, where feed of all kinds is scarce 

 and high and the growth of beets and 

 other roots out of the question, a plant 

 that produces hundreds of tons of suc- 

 culent stock food is a godsend. The 

 'caves are laid out to dry a little and 

 ^tien planted about six feet apart each 

 ^^■iy, the first year's crop more than 

 laying all expenses of planting.

proportion. While the continued 

 spring weather is bringing in the stock 

 in abundance, there seems to be an 

 outlet whereby little stock is lost. 

 Roses are at their heaviest, and their 

 quality and colors would be hard to 

 beat, especially the Maids. Kaiserins 

 and Carnots are coming in, but it will 

 be several weeks before they will be in 

 heavy .cut. Carnations have an in- 

 creased cut, almost to a glut, yet the 

 prices have held up remarkably at the 

 first-class stores. Only the smaller fel- 

 lows are cutting the prices as a special 

 inducement. All classes of spring 

 flowers are gradually passing off the 

 market. There is a scarcity of bloom- 

 ing plants. Snapdragons, iris and dor- 

 onicums are coming in. E. R. C.
