DO YOU BELONG TO A CACTUS CLUB? 
A great many people in various places are finding great pleasure and profit in Cactus 
and Succulent Clubs. Most of these clubs have monthly meetings. In the winter, they 
gather in a home or a hall and listen to some good speaker tell of his experiences in 
growing plants or his travels in their native homes. Sometimes the talks are illustrated 
with lantern slides. In warmer weather, meetings are held in member’s gardens or visits 
are made to some notable collection that is ordinarily not open to the public. 
It is surprising to note the number of pleasant frendships that are formed and the 
great amount of information that is exchanged at these meetings. 
If there is no club in your vicinity, why not start one? It only takes from ten to 
twenty persons to form the nucleus of a live club. On our mailing lists are the names 
of thousands of interested persons. Nearly every large center is representd by enough 
names to form a fine club. To any one who will undertake to form a club, we offer to 
search our files and furnish him with a list of names from his locality. The Correspond¬ 
ing Secretary of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America will also furnish much 
information in regard to organizing. 
The greatest benefit is derived by clubs that are affiliated with the Cactus and 
Succulent Society of America. This large organization provides a medium for the 
co-ordinating of efforts in all lines pertaining to the dissemination of knowledge and 
the preservation and cultivation of this interesting group of plants. Through it, enthu¬ 
siasts in all parts of the world are kept in constant contact. One of its chief works is 
the publication of the Cactus and Succulent Journal. The contents of the Journal cover 
a wide range of pertinent subjects with many illustrations. A section each month is 
devoted to the reprinting of “Cactaeceae” by Britton & Rose. This authoratative work 
has been out of print for several years and is now so scarce that fabulous prices are 
paid for copies. Members of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America are receiving 
the reprinted work for only a fraction of its original price. 
The membership fee of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America is $3.00 per 
year, including the Journal subscription. Only five members of a local club are required 
to be members of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America to enable the local club 
to affiliate and a portion of their fees is returned for the support of the local club. For 
further information, write to the Corresponding Secretary, Cactus and Succulent Society 
of America, 6162 North Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California.
