SHINER CACTUS NURSERY

Picture showing how Peter Hoffman, Florist, 92 Highgate Avenue, Buffalo, N. Y. 
takes care of his cacti and other succulents outdoors in the summer time. Picture made 
in 1920. Plants are in pots, imbedded, convenient for winter removal indoors. Mr. 
Hoffman wrote recently that many of these plants are still doing well in his collection. 
Their healthy appearance and longevity testify to the success of this plan for garden¬ 
ers in cold climates. 
Indoor collection of Mr. Hoffmann. Picture made in 1910. The 
majority of these plants are still living, a tribute to a student of 
cultural requirements and lover of the rare and unusual in plant life.
