Titled *Desert Gardens, Texas*, this c1924 photoprint is credited to J.F. Gandara and marked No. 77, though the record notes that these details come from an unverified caption card. The title places it in the dry landscapes of Texas, where people in the 1920s grew cacti, agaves, and other drought-tolerant plants that needed little water. Photoprints like this were often issued as views of local places, so the picture offers a glimpse of how Texans shaped ornamental plantings around arid conditions.
