BACKGROUND NOTE
In 1887, the Department of Horticulture and Forestry was
first established as a unit in the college and the newly organized
experiment station. The department was one of the original departments
of the college. Early research was involved with windbreak trees,
orchard fruits, small fruits, vegetables and ornamental trees and shrubs
and was put to practical use throughout South Dakota. Research in
horticulture, forestry, and landscape design and parks management has
continued to be an integral part of the department throughout the
years. In the mid-1980’s, the department name was changed to Department
of Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks.
Today, the Department of Horticulture, Forestry,
Landscape and Parks offers instruction leading to the Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture degree with majors in horticulture, landscape
design, and park management.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS
NOTE
This collection is composed of a botany ledger and
general office records generated by the Horticulture, Forestry,
Landscape and Parks Department within the College of Agriculture and
Biological Sciences at South Dakota State University.
The Botany ledger is composed of a ledger used to
teach the manes of plants and study plant anatomy. Included are
descriptions of the plant and a plant sample pressed between the pages.
This ledger was most likely compiled by a student, although there is no
distinct evidence to that. Researchers are urged to view this material
with care as the pages are loose and the plant samples are very fragile
and contain allergens.
The General office records are composed of
publications produced by the Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape and Parks
Department. Material included newsletters, programs, certificates,
record books, clippings, info-sheets, surveys, pamphlets, and a survey.
Folders are arranged in alphabetical order.
