"Many thousands of people around the world have become involved with collecting and growing cacti and succulents. This is at the least a fascinating hobby and once infatuation has taken hold the wonder of it all rarely ceases to attract. ... Cacti and succulents are closely akin as both can withstand long periods of drought by storing water and nourishment in their stems, leaves and rootstock. They can therefore survive when most other plants would succumb. This book provides adequate guidance to identifying and understanding these plants." .

The past century has wrought a vast change in his appearance, vernacular, sobriety, diversions, and general behaviour. We can congratulate ourselves, however, that a better type has been evolved, although we can still recognise to-day modified (and improved) specimens of the men who were in residence in the early twenties." .
