Though holding the degree of from the Harvard Medical School, Dr. Sturtevant never prac- ticed the profession of medicine, but devoted his life to agricultural work, first specializing on Ayrshire cattle, then on pedigree corn (Waushakum) and muskmelons (New Christiana), and afterward devoting particular attention to the modifications which cultivated plants have undergone as shown by such records as occur iu the older books. In connection with these studies, Dr. Sturtevant brought together a rare collection of books dealing with plants published before the time of Lin- nreus (say 1753), which, with his index cards and her- barium, is now preserved at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, Mo. As first director of the New York Experiment Station, at Geneva, Dr. Sturtevant drew the broad plans on which the successful work of that establishment has been conducted and which have served largely as mod- els for subsequently organized agricultural stations over the country. He was a man of active mind, and his career is suggestive of worthy work to an unusual •degree. A biographic sketch and a list of his principal writings are printed in the Tenth Report of the Missouri Botanical Garden. ^5,. Teelease.
