In the Autumn of
1968, Professor
Freeman S. Howlett
taught Horticulture 805, a course titled "The History and Literature
of Horticulture: From Earliest Times to the Present." The information
presented herein constitutes Professor Howlett's course outline
that was distributed to students. A copy of his Course
Preface
is also provided.
Readers will notice
the emphasis Professor Howlett placed on highlighting and cataloging
the writings of the historical figures comprising the outline. We
should point out that Professor's Howlett's course outline is not
a complete history of horticulture. Our hope is to expand this resource
over time into a fuller history. Readers desiring additional information
on an individual are provided a link to other resources available
on the Internet.
