Cauliflower crown  Cover Image Book Book

Cauliflower crown / by Klaas de Jong ; arranged by Martha Knapp.

De Jong, Klaas, 1872-1959 (Author). Knapp, Martha. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Klaas de Jong came to Canada from the Netherlands in 1893 as a penniless immigrant and went on to become an internationally known market gardener. His travels across the Canadian and American West as a railroad laborer came at a time when that area was just starting to open up through massive migration. His insights and observations from those travels and his documentation of the social development of Winnipeg during the first half of the 20th century combine to make this a valuable book. The articulate manner in which his story is set down gives it a timeless quality."--Book jacket.
