I do feel it is worth it. I used to get a LOT of catalogs 20 years ago - but many hybridizers have changed to having websites. The cost of printing and mailing thousands of catalogs is quite high. Now, I still get a few catalogs, but not nearly as many. The National and Regional newsletters are great. There is also the AHS E-mail Robin. Lots of good info on there. You have to be a member to join the E-mail robin.
