Book Description
Excerpt from Luther Burbank's Spineless Cactus For more than fifty years I have been quite familiar with thornless cactus of many species and varieties. In fact, one of the first pets which I had in earliest childhood was a thornless cactus, one of the beautiful Epiphyllums. The Phyllocactus and many of the Cereus family are also thornless, not a trace to be found on any part of the plants or fruit. Thus the somewhat indefinite popular name of spineless cactus has been used by persons unacquainted with these facts, for be it known that thorn less cactus is no more of a novelty than a thornless watermelon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
