. Cranberries; : the national cranberry magazine. Cranberries. such a capable and influential man causes deep sorrow and re- gret, but the effects of his work will live on in many ways. Plant pathology and botany in general have been greatly advanced and are sounder sciences because of his efforts, and the cranberry industry owes him a debt of gratitude great- er than may be realized. H. F. Bergman TRIBUTE I think I can serve the memory ol| Neil Stevens best at this time by drawing attention to a pamphlet of Stevensiana entitled, "Factors in Botanical Publication and Other Essays", published by Botanica Chronica late in 1947. This gives a very clear outline of the career, labors performed, and marked hon- ors received, by this remarkable man. Another paper, published by Stevens in Amei'ican Scientist last winter and bearing the innocent title "Fun in Research", gives his philosophy in relation to scientific work and is evidently the fruition of long years of thought and ex- perience. Beginners in scientific work should not fail to read this for it deeply deserves their most careful and respectful attention. Copies of both these papers are in the cranberry collection in the Middleboro Public Library. Stevens was one of those out- standing workers who are given a, star in American Men of Science, the biographical directory pub- lished at intervals by the Science Press. This honor is much valued, and many of high merit fail to re- ceive it. Stevens gave his time to the study of matters related to the cranberry industry through twenty- four seasons, two thirds of this mainly in Massachusetts and most of the remainder in Wisconsin. He published his first cranberry paper in 1917 and his last in 1947. This long fidelity should command the respect of those interested in cran- berries everywhere. He was more helpful and more just in his human relationships than most men. This quality, amply shared by his suc- cessor. Dr. Bergman, made possible
