| Photographer Henry L. Rand and his sister, Margaret Arnold Rand were enthusiastic nature lovers and amateur gardeners. Neighbors of the family home at 49 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, remarked on their beautiful gardens on that property and Henry took several photographs of them. The Southwest Harbor Public Library Rand Collection contains several photographs of flower arrangements and this one of forced tulips in a pot, carefully labeled with the variety. “The Amateurs’ Prizes for forced bulbs went to Miss Margaret A. Rand of Cambridge, first and third, and Henry L. Rand of Jamaica Plain, second. The exhibits in this class showed more than ordinary skill in cultivation.” The requirements for entry were “Six pans, six inches in diameter, grown without the aid of a frame or greenhouse.” First prize was $10, Second Prize $8, and Third Prize $6. Miss Margaret A. Rand was on the Committee for Children’s Gardens. - “Transactions of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society” by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1909. | Description: Photographer Henry L.
