    Administrative history

    The Canadian Horticulturalist and Beekeeper was a periodical published by the Horticultural Publishing Company in Peterborough, Ontario. The Canadian Horticulturalist was published as early as 1881. In May of 1913 the title was changed to The Canadian Horticulturalist and Beekeeper after the Canadian Bee Journal was purchased and incorporated into the Canadian Horticulturalist. These periodicals were the official publications for the Canadian Horticultural Societies and the Ontario Bee Keeper's Associations. In 1914 it became the official publication for the New Brunswick Bee Keeper's Association. At a later date the periodical appeared to come out in three different editions--the Floral Edition, the Fruit Edition and the Beekeeping Edition--which were inserted into special sections into the "Horticulturalist". It was published once a month. The managing director was H. Bronson Cowan. In 1918 A.B.A. Cutting B.S.A. was described as a former editor and in 1921 an W.A.W. was editor. In 1918 there were two co-editors who seemed to have a little bit of difficulty getting the magazine out to its subscribers since the co-editors were in France during World War I. The magazine contained articles and illustrations pertinent to horticulture and beekeeping. It also contained advertisements for nurseries, suppliers, greenhouses, farm machinery and tools. In the later issues there were advertisements for cars.

    Custodial history

    Part of this fonds (1913-1921 issues) was purchased from the Old Post Office Gallery in Grafton, Ontario and then donated to the Trent University Archives. The provenance of the the fonds before it was purchased is unknown.

    Scope and content

    This fonds consists of 45 issues of the magazine: Canadian Horticulturalist and Beekeeper which was published in Peterborough, Ontario from 1881. Four additional issues (March, 1897, November, 1897, March, 1898 and January 1899 were donated in 1993 by Jean Cole via the Friends of the Bata Library) and in 1994, additional issues (May 1890-June 1896, scattered) were added courtesy of the Friends of the Bata Library.

    Notes area

    Physical condition

    All early issues are fragile. Some covers are off the publication but still with the proper issue. The years of 1897-1899 have inactive mold on them and are enclosed in mylar sleeves. Gloves should be worn at all times and the 1897-1899 issues should not be photocopied.

    Immediate source of acquisition

    This fonds was donated by the Friends of the Bata Library in 1986 and 1994, and in 1993 by Jean Cole via the Friends of the Bata Library.
