Description
Photograph of a collection of cacti grown inside a Riverside park, ca.1920. A wide variety of cacti, such as Prickly Pear Cactus, Saguaro Cactus, Organ Pipe Cactus, Beavertail Cactus, and Barrel Cactus, populate the area. Little sticks with handwriting on them stick out of the ground next to individual cactus to perhaps label the type of cactus(?). A sign at left reads "Keep Out." Trees and the roof of a house can be seen in the background.
