RECOMMENDED BOOKS AND MAGAZINES 
Literature for the study of cacti is as important as the plants themselves. The fad of the 80’s was short-lived 
because there was no reading matter in the English language and the few foreign books were all too scientific for 
the amateur. American botanists have carried on where the German botanist, Alwin Berger, left off and to-day 
this country leads in the finest collections of cacti and in the publication of cactus literature. During the months 
when cacti are dormant there is no better time for the study of these interesting plants. An understanding of the 
habits of cacti will have a marked effect on the cultural results.
