MRS. HENRY WOOD—Str. C. (Wood-Kemp). We are proud of 
the privilege of introducing this beautiful Straight Cactus

throughout the country. The color is begonia rose, with 
traces of orange bronze running through the petals, orange 
yellow base. The plant attains to a height of 3 to 4 feet, 
is many branched and produces its 7 to 9 inch wide blooms
