1857Best.-Nr. 56060New York: C.M. Saxton & Co. Agricultural Book Publishers No. 140 Fulton St. 1857. 8vo. 106 pp. plus 11 1 pp. publisher’s catalogue. Woodcut-engraved frontisp. 1 text engraving. Original printed softcovers minor chipping head & foot of spine slight chipping couple lower corners dustsoiling still a VG bright copy. First edition of one of the earliest American studies on Chinese Sugarcane Sorghum and the possibilities that this was the sorghum plant that American farmers hoped would grow in the Northern United States and definitive work on growing harvesting and distilling sorghum. A variety of “Chinese Sugarcane” was imported by Father Du Halde from Sichuan China in 1851 where it was quickly adopted also under the name of “Northern Chinese or Shanghai Sugarcane” as a crop to provide sugars for alcoholic products filling the void left by the grape crop failure in the 1850s. Chinese Sugarcane seeds were first brought into United States by Jay Browne Esq. in 1854 and a few intrepid American nurseries began planting and determining if it could be planted and harvested profitably in the North. Hyde writes that in his test crop he was able to secure a dark sugar from the cane molasses and notes that it will be of tremendous value in producing alcohol and confectionaries and that the Sorghum remnants could be fed to livestock. Hyde 1825-1898 worked with his father James Hyde in developing the very successful nursery emphasizing fruit trees ornamental trees and cash crops. He was a pioneering environmentalist who founded the first improvement society in the United States the Newton Centre Tree Club whose purpose was to emphasize beautifying the roads and commons in Massachusetts. He was Newton MA first mayor after the city was incorporated in 1873 and was also successful in persuading the Boston & Albany RR to acquire the existing single-track line of the Charles River Railroad to aid his nursery business. Original editions of this work have become quite scarce in the trade.

This intriguing Pure Food Fair promotion guide compiled by the noted Swiss-American western food fair display designer and promoter captures the energy and impact in Colorado Washington Massachusetts and the United Kingdom following the passage of the Pure Food & Drug Act of 1906. Across the United States and in the UK there was a tremendous growth of the public’s interest in sanitary food manufacturing packaging new products and more importantly booths designed to demonstrate that there products were unadulterated safe & modern. The Denver Retail Grocers Association and the Spokane Grocers’ Association contracted with the intrepid salesman and show promoter to present “up-to-date carefully managed City and State-wide advertised indoor exposition of pure foods household electrical gas auto labor-saving appliances and industrial exhibits of every nature” in the two Western Cities. The 1908 Boston Food Fair was a lavish Progressive Era production which featured the band and performances of John Philip Sousa to entertain participants and fair-goers. Tremp b. 1873 first emigrated into Oakland CA before setting himself up in Denver CO until just before World War I with a focus on “Pure Food” fairs but after World War I would move back to California and remained there as a show promoter until the 1950’s. No similar copies of the Denver Spokane or Boston Food Fair promotional catalogues and prospectuses are located in Worldcat or food & drink or advertising specialty institutional holdings.

Eight parts. 4to. 46 pp assorted separate numbering. w/ most leaves printed on recto only but 2 printed on recto & verso in mimeograph typescript stapled at upper left corners separately 1 part w/ “Seasons Greetings” printed in red minor age toning edgewear still a VG group. A culturally significant group of mimeographed recipes instructions and promotional flyers for the Home Economics & Cooking School demonstrations put on by Naoma Rice for three different Minnesota utility and public utility companies through the depths of the Great Depression. Spearheaded by Rice 1899-1937 the demonstrations emphasized the use and advantages of electric ranges and refrigerators as their popularity and use slowly became more widespread in the 1930’s with an emphasis on local produce and fruits. The first group of recipes includes instructions for such confections as Cranberry Sponge Cake Cider Sherbet Macaroon Pie Spagetti sic Sauce and Bran Refrigerator Rolls. Mixed through the other recipes there are instructions for Crunchy Potato Chip Cookies Apple Cheese Cake Parmesan Veal Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Corn Flake Crust. Several of the recipes emphasize the use of popular Minnesota fruits including Apple Quince Grapes and others.The importance of refrigeration was also emphasized in the “Cooking School” and Model Kitchens with instructions on temperatures needed for home rangers and refrigerators for cooked foods meats butter opened jelly or preserves cheeses and more. Rice suffered through an unspecified childhood illness by by the early 1920’s had become a public school Home Economics Teacher and then by 1928 was listed in Austin MN street directories as a “Demonstrator” for home economics and cooking classes. The Minnesota Utilities Company had been created in 1917 from several smaller utilities and my the Great Depression had grown large enough that it became subject to both the TVA and the Rural Electrification Project as Roosevelt’s New Deal programs attempted to encourage increased use of electricity and electric appliances to boost the economy. The Northern States Power Co. was based out of Minneapolis MN and extended across Minnesota Michigan into the Dakotas and operated an extensive Home Service Dept. The Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota appears to have been one of the short-lived outgrowths of WPA and PWA-sponsored programs under the New Deal. This cataloguer could not locate any similar surviving documents for Naoma Rice cooking classes or the Minnesota-based utility companies.
