California Horticultural Society

 Resending this old message to answer the many questions I've
 recently been getting about Cal Hort.  For those of you trying to
 access the WWW Site I specify, be sure and check for the 'tilde'
 character just before the 'sao' in the Site address (a common UNIX
 convention to signify a user).  Unfortuinately this often is
 translated into something strange in e-mail transition, and will
 therefore need to be edited after your copy/paste into your WWW
 Browser.  Merely replace whatever strange character is there (often
 a '%' on my mail) with the 'tilde', which is that little 'wavy' or
 'happy worm' character - over the backwards quote ('`') on my
 keyboard.  If you still cannot gain access for some reason, I'll try
 and e-mail you the entire text (long).

 Many of you have been asking me for information about the California
 Horticultural Society, which has both local (SF Bay Area) and
 international members.  In order to provide this information to all
 in an easy fashion, I have updated an old WWW Page for the Society
 which is now mounted at:

    http://www.dla.ucop.edu/sao/calhort.html

 While local members are able to attends monthly meetings and routine
 garden tours and plant sales, both local & international members
 receive the monthly newsletter (including mention of the plant
 display species brought into the meetings by members), a
 subscription to Pacific Horticulture magazine, and the annual Seed
 Exchange (which takes place at the beginning of the calendar year).

 Cal Hort membership is by the calendar year, and not generally
 pro-rated (though you can join for 18 months in the latter 1/2 of
 the year), so now is a good time to consider joining.  A rooster of
 members is available which is a great method of contacting all sorts
 of interesting people, both here and around the world (you might
 even find some of your neighbors!).  Over 60 years old, Cal Hort has
 spawned many other interesting organizations, including the Strybing
 Arboretum & Western Horticultural Societies.  If you have further
 questions after browsing the above WWW page, please let me know.
