Horticultural drawings of camellias
Visual Materials
A set of eight illustrations depicting varieties of camellias in bloom and an accompanying text card. Six of the eight illustrations include either pasted textual descriptions of the flowers on the verso or handwritten notes on the recto. Some of the illustrations are dated and include descriptions for "Camellia Japonica; Christine Lee; Candidissima; Fanny Bolis; and Mathotiana Rubra." The printed text card reads, "Original horticultural drawings made for J. Horace McFarland. 1930-1934. Well known as the 'Rose Doctor,' the great horticulturalist J. Horace McFarland was also responsible for the City Beautiful Movement in America. These drawings are lovely and unique artifacts of his grand enthusiasm for flowers and art." The illustrations are hand colored, done in crayon, pencil, and colored pencil in varying shades of red, white, and pink, with green leaves, yellow stamen, and brown stems. The dates on the individual illustrations range from 1933 to 1935, and do not all match the dates on the accompanying text card. The artist is unknown, but the drawings were likely created as reference or possible publication for J. Horace McFarland.

Copy of a Plan returned by His Maj'tys Com'rs. for settling the Boundarys between the Provinces of New Hampshire and Massachusetts Bay, along with the said Com'rs. Judgement of 2. Sept. 1737
Visual Materials
Kashnor notes, "No other copy is recorded. This was evidently transmitted by the people of New Hampshire in support of their claims before the King in Council. The map is really associated with the history of the State of Vermont, for when the King established the boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire in 1740, the new commission of Governor Benning Wentworth extended his jurisdiction westward until it met the boundaries of other provinces, and in this way he extended his boundary westward to Lake Champlain. In 1749 the Governor made the grant of the town of Bennington, and in a few years grants of other townships, which became known as the New Hampshire Grants. In 1763 the Rev. Samuel Peters assembled with some of the settlers on Mt. Pisgah, broke a bottle of spirits with them, and christened the country Verd Mont. In the same year, Governor Colden, of New York, claimed the land held under Wentworth's grants, and issued counter-grants of the same land. He was ordered by the King to stop this, but it was the people who held the grants from Wentworth, who made the New York agents seek a more peaceful locality. The history of the case is well written by Ethan Allen. Whether this map was transmitted in 1740 or 1763, when the troubles started, is uncertain, but it is most probable that it was sent over in the latter year, for the map formerly belonged to General Amherst." Kashnor dates as ca. 1740. MS note: 105 1005 (on matting). Relief: no. Graphic Scale: Miles. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Copper engraving. Verso Text: MS text: A copy of the plan, returned by the Kings Comm'rs who were appointed to settle the Boundarys between the Massachusetts Bay & New Hampshire. .
