CACTUS AND SUCCULENT 
SOCIETY OF AMERICA 
The Cactus and Succulent Society was organ- 
ized more than 20 years ago to bring together 
those interested in these extraordinary plants 
and to publish a magazine which would pro- 
vide a forum for the exchange of information 
and for the publishing of new species and sci- 
entific data. The Journal, under the competent 
editorship of Scott Haselton, has well achieved 
these aims, and today is the world’s foremost 
publication about these plants. 
Everyone is invited to join the Society and 
to receive this splendidly illustrated magazine. 
It has many articles on new plants, stories on 
exploration trips to new localities, articles on 
culture, news of affiliated Cactus Clubs in 
every region of the U. S. Everyone interested 
in Cacti and Succulents will continue to find 
this a most interesting magazine.

PLASTIC LABELS 
Permanent labels for plants poses a very dif- 
ficult problem for the collector. Wooden labels 
while quite satisfactory do not of course last 
indefinitely. These plastic labels last for many 
years and outside of copper or zinc labels, 
which are difficult to affix to the plant, are 
the best solution | have found to date. Lead 
pencil writing lasts very well indoors or in the 
greenhouse. Outdoors it eventually weathers 
off. Grease pencils are useless. Water proof 
india drawing ink has proven the best medium 
for permanent labeling.

SUPPLIES FOR CACTI 
Few things are needed in the growing of cacti more than interest and 
a desire to form an increasing collection of them. However, for the city 
dweller and more serious collector | am offering a few things that may 
make their culture easier. The things we offer are the things we our- 
JOHNSON’S CACTUS SOIL 
CONDITIONER 
Of great assistance in keeping cacti in good 
health, it is designed to add the minerals ordi- 
nary garden soils often lack. Desert soils are 
often high in mineral content, for there is little 
rain to leach them away. A spoonful of my 
Conditioner placed about a Cactus plant and 
stirred lightly into the soil will often bring an 
ailing one back to health. Mix it with your 
potting soils.

JOHNSON’S CACTUS COMPOST 
Mix With Your Own Sand and Soil 
An economical compost for Cacti and Succu- 
lents which when mixed with equal or larger 
quantities of both sand and light loam makes a 
very suitable soil for all desert plants. Com- 
posed of our recleaned sclerophyllous leafmold, 
lime, gypsum in the proper proportions for all 
potted cacti. A light and bulky mixture, the 
same as we use in our own potting soils for 
both seedling and specimen plants.

VOLCK SPRAY. An oil spray recommended 
for any kind of scale insect and for mealy bug. 
These two insects are hard to kill as they have 
a waxy covering which repels water. We have

BLACK ROT PREVENTIVE 
With light waterings, fresh air and sun, rot 
will not appear. If through too much watering 
plants turn black and watery its spread may be 
checked by saturating the top soil with a 
Semesan solution. It is useful also to spray tiny 
seedlings to prevent ‘‘damping off’? or rotting.
