THE CACTUS AND SUCCULENT JOURNAL OF GREAT BRITAIN ESTABLISHED 1931 Vol. 14 APRIL, 1952 No. 2 EDITORIAL The April issue of the Journal seems to be a good opportunity to talk about the coming summer holidays. It is well known, and at the same time not so well known, that one of the world's most famous gardens is situated within the borders of Britain. Have you ever been to Tresco, Isles of Scilly ? There Major A. A. Dorrien Smith, Lord Lieutenant of the Islands, has a most magnificent garden in which can be found sub-tropical, and even tropical trees and shrubs that will interest even the most blase. To us, interested in cacti and succulents, the gardens have a special interest as there can be found many of our favourites growing in the open under the most successful cultivation. Make a note of Tresco for your I9S2 summer holiday and, if you decide to go, why not get in touch with Major A. A. Dorrien Smith at Tresco Abbey ? He will be glad to afford you the opportunity of visiting his gardens and will extend you a hearty welcome as a fellow member and enthusiast. Special note should be made that membership cards contain an error. The cards give our September meeting as the 24th ; this should be the 23rd. We, of course, have our Autumn Show on the 23rd and 24th of that month, but the Society meeting is on the evening of the 23rd. The recent Annual General Meeting was noted in many respects and it drew attention to the enthusiasm generated by our Dinner in November last. It was the expressed wish of members that the dinner should be repeated in November of 1952 as an opportunity of members meeting in a social atmosphere. I have received a copy of Dr. G. L. Berry's remarkable directory of American cactus and succulent collectors. This contains thousands of names and is the most comprehensive publication of its kind that I have ever seen. Dr. Berry is desirous of extending the scope of the directory to cover other parts of the world, especially our own country and the Commonwealth. He would like to have the names of those who have good collections of around one hundred plants or more. Also information as to whether they have a greenhouse or grow them in windows, etc. Also the approximate number of plants of cacti and also of succulents that they have ; further, whether a private or commercial collector or a dealer. Another useful feature would be the name and address of any public gardens in the various countries that feature cacti and succulents, with the name of the horticulturist in charge. Write direct to Dr. G. L. Berry, 1312 Cherry Street, Lawton, Oklahoma, U.S.A. It will have been noted that the Society is completely out of stock of the first p3rt of volume eight. If any member could spare a copy it would be gratefully received by the editor for a very good friend of the Society over many years, who is short of just this copy. The Society's library is also short of one issue of the Journal, so if any member can spare the second part of volume seven would they send it to Mr. P. V. Collings, 53 Northumberland Road, New Barnet, Herts., our librarian.
