Series X. Miscellaneous Papers of the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press., 1920-1959

The bulk of this series consists of printing samples made by the McFarland Company. The samples are mostly rose plates, but also include images of fruits and vegetables, flowers, gardens, landscape plantings, and other subjects. The series contains a partial set of prints from Mary Lawrance's Collection of Roses from Nature, which McFarland republished and sold in the 1930s. Also in this series are samples of logo artwork, copies of paintings that were reproduced for the McFarland Company offices, an internal list of employees' telephone extensions, unmounted stock photos, and McFarland Company calendar covers. There is an oversize photograph of the front entrance of the J. Horace McFarland Company and a diagram of the gardens and grounds at McFarland's residence, Breeze Hill.
