From: Scott Hyndman hyndman at aroid.org> on 2002.05.31 at 15:13:10(8934) Ron and All, Thanks for bringing the link problem to my attention. The link is correct now, and the 2002 first issue is available to the IAS Members with passwords at http://www.aroid.org/members/members.html. The second issue is forthcoming very soon. Thank you for your patience. Also online now is the promised Aglaonema Growers' Notebook by Dr. Roy N. Jervis at http://www.aroid.org/members/members.html. If you are not familiar with this classic aroid book, which has been out of print for over 20 years, this is what the late author said about this fascinating publication: +More "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." This publication is provided as a benefit of membership in the International Aroid Society.
