In Chapultepec Park near Mexico City and in many sec¬ 
tions of the city are to be found notable cactus gardens. 
Leading out from Mexico City are good highways to dif¬ 
ferent cactus regions among them those to Tehuacan, Ixmi- 
quilpan and Mextitlan. These drives are some of the most 
beautiful in Mexico and probably in the whole world, of dura¬ 
tion 3 to 7 hours. 
These 5 pictures made in the cactus section of the Na¬ 
tional Botanical Gardens. 
Upper left center—Cephalocereus hoppenstedtii. 
Upper right center—giant columnars are Ferocactus 
pringlei. 
Lower right—globulars are again Echinocaetus grandis.
