"This personal notebook on Aglaonemas has been a fun project and is being
shared in the hope that it will help other Aglaonema growers to identify
their plants. Maybe it will encourage others to increase their collections
when they see the choices now available. Maybe, too, it will encourage
growers to try new cultivars augmenting the 10 or 12 plants that are so
common..." R.N. Jervis, November 1, 1980
Dr. B. Frank Brown, author of The Amazing Aglaonema, writes this of Dr.
Jervis and his book:
"Roy N. Jervis was the most impressive individual I ever met. In the
mid-seventies we visited each other back and forth. His interest was in the
newly found Aglaonema which I had collected in the wilds of South East Asia.
My interest was the absolute "awe" over his botanical knowledge of the genus
Aglaonema. His intellect coupled with his scholarship resulted in one of the
most outstanding aroid publications in the 20th Century. Dr. Jervis'
publication as a study of a single genus is without peer in the world of
botany."

Folks
I noticed that Newsletter 2002 April is now listed on the Members Page but
seemingly it downloads as a more compressed version of Newsletter 2001(3 &
4).
