Gardening and Horticulture
This 3 cent stamp honoring Gardening and Horticulture was issued
on March 15, 1958 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of
Liberty Hyde Bailey, a noted American horticulturist, botanist and cofounder
of the American Society for Horticultural Science. He founded the College
of Agriculture at Cornell University in 1888 and was a prolific writer
of horticultural literature, writing some 65 books, edited more than a
hundred books by other authors and published more than 1,300 articles
and scientific papers. His most important legacy may have been his determination
to introduce new technology and ideas to rural American farmers to improve
their way of life.
