One of the plants is 19 years old, but Mr. and Mrs. Tesh do not know the age of the other. However, the two are blooming at the same time, so they are probably about the same age," Tesh 'said. A friend gave Mrs.

Tesh the first plant in the spring of 1923. Later, a neighbor dug up the other plant from his yara because it was interfering with his ear driving in the garage. Tesh took the plant and planted It alongside its twin. Frequent cutting of the leaves around the base of the plant Is Tesh explains, as the leaves are pointed and dangerous. He has to cut a dozen or so off every few months.

Century plants are so. named for their late blooming. The plant grows comparatively slowly, then, lust before blooming, shoots up to its full height. During the first day the plant began to grow preparatory to blooming, Tesh reported, the center stalk grew 9 inches In 24 hours. One reason for the sudden promjnence of the century plants in the city, Tesh believes, is the abundance of rain this fsu.
