THE CACTUS AND SUCCULENT JOURNAL OF GREAT BRITAIN ESTABLISHED 1931 Vol. 13 JANUARY, 195! No. EDITORIAL In the course of my business I have occasion to read through the names and details of new limited companies. I recently saw one had been formed in the Midlands, with considerable capital, for the growing of cacti and succulents. I have also seen, in florist shops, crates marked with names of many growers and it is obvious their number increases almost, one might say, daily. It is a repetition of the early thirties. Before founding our society I launched a campaign in the gardening papers by letters and articles and got in touch with existing collectors and then called the meeting at St. Bride's Institute. The existing collectors were, directly or indirectly, the result of similar work by Walton, the Midland dealer, in the latter years of the nineteenth century. The only dealers, so far as I am aware, were Endean and Neales, both of whom gave me generous assistance in the preliminary work. The campaign and the formation of the society created public interest and articles and cartoons appeared even in our national Press and many became aware of the good market for cacti and succulents. Of later years the tendency has been to grow for bulk buyers and rather neglect the ordinary collector whose wants were less profitable to satisfy. 1 am just wondering whether this helps us. It is perfectly true that several members commenced with the purchase of one of these bulk plants, but I wonder how many more lost their interest when they lost plants through ignorance ? I believe it is correct to say that for every one that survived, thousands were lost. Obviously, the remedy is to provide the purchasers with cultivation details, but distribution presents a problem. The Society helps where it is known, but notwithstanding the years we have been established, thousands owning cacti do not know of our existence. We cannot complain of the business instincts of growers, most of whom generously support the various societies, but I suggest it might be of more service to take steps to ensure the survival of these plants rather than benefit, unwillingly probably, from repeat sales for those that are lost. There is an opening for somebody to cater for collectors exclusively. We are modestly rather proud of the Journal, so it is with gratitude that we read in the July, I9S0, issue of " Fuaux Herbarium Bulletin " (Australia)—" It is a most valuable Journal, maintaining what is probably the highest technical standard of any similar publication in the English language." If you have not already remitted your subscription for 1951, please do so without delay to the Hon. Treasurer, Miss D. M. Poore, 48 The Mead, Beckenham, Kent, so that the 1951 programme can be completed. It also helps our honorary treasurer considerably and saves correspondence and expense.
