Description
Photograph of a small cactus garden next to a wooden slat building, ca.1920. A half a dozen different varieties are present including barrel cacti. Most of the cacti are small in size and barely reach the wooden shingles of the building. At center, two tall cacti can be seen extending as high as the base level. Supports connected to the side of the building can be seen securing both cacti. The building is two-story and two of the windows are barely visible.
