Description

Photograph of Opuntia cacti at Luther Burbank's Experiment Grounds in Santa Rosa, [s.d.]. Six square wooden planters situated three across and two down are visible from the bottom to center. The planters are filled with small, young cacti. Behind the planters a raised flower bed can be seen covered with prickly Opuntia cacti growing out of the dirt. Photoprint reads: "Luther Burbank". The Opuntia cacti may have been used in Burbank's experiments to develop a spineless cactus.
