planting, then nature will take care of plants. They 
will do well in most any kind of soil. If shortly af¬

Agave plants wilt on the end do no worry; other 
leaves will make out from center of plant, then if the 
outside leaves do not come off take sharp knife and 
clip off close up to the body of plant. These plants 
do not live for a short time but will live for years; 
just keep them from freezing weather. If kept con¬ 
tinually in the house from time to time, place close to 
window; this is not absolutely required, but is de¬ 
sired every six months.
