A Mammoth Specimen 



Some fruits of this size grow to the number of from twenty 

 to fifty on a slab, and it is easy to see that the aggregate pro- 

 duction is enormous. In point of fact, the amount of fruit grown on 

 a single acre of Mr. Burbank's new perfected spineless cactus, 

 under favorable conditions, may amount in the aggregate 

 to more than 100 ions in a season. In point of bulk, 

 the crop of the cactus is without rival.
