tinct. Very similar to W. robusta, but more 
dwarf. Leaf-stalks much shorter, more

AGAVES, DRACAENAS AND YUCCAS

fitness in California garden making, giving 
a suggestion of desert vegetation. Planted

appearance, and give a charm to the home 
grounds. Our stock comprises strong and 
thrifty plants.

to do well in all reasonably good soil, and 
should be planted by every farmer. Decora¬

warm, rich soil. All varieties respond 
quickly to good treatment.
