Oliver Alger was a pioneer horticulturalist who experimented with vines and plants on his farm. In 1867 an article appeared in the national "Horticulturalist and Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste," commenting positively on the raspberry patch one of their editor's examined on Oliver Alger's Farm "near Cleveland." Not to be outdone by her husband, Alger's wife Mary grew prize-winning Dahlias in her garden on the farm. Download Original File
