History of Horticulture

Abstract

I wish to call attention to a collection of reference notes and citations, now found in the Michigan State Univ. (MSU) Archives, that belonged to the late Fred Bradford. It appears that these handwritten notes had been made by Bradford while on the staff at MSU and later while at the USDA/Plant Introductions, Beltsville, Md. His references and citations on the history of horticulture and plant science are stored in folders, organized by country, and chronologically, more or less. They are written mainly in English, but some are in French or German. They were intended, it seems, for a book which never materialized.
