Farming during the war, 1918

This series in the Peter Henry Rolfs Collection consists almost exclusively of publications, drafts of articles, notes, lists, and speeches written by Rolfs prior to his move to Brazil in 1921. Subject content includes agricultural extension and experimentation in Florida, as well as general topics related to Florida agriculture, and botanical and horticultural research. (Writings and speeches written after 1920 can be found in Series B of the Peter Henry Rolfs Collection.) Also included in the series are a handful of letters written during this time period and a few miscellaneous items.

Of special note are the numbered lists of plants identified and collected by Rolfs during his tenure at the Florida Agricultural College in Lake City during the 1890s. In 1990, the numbers were matched to specimens in the University of Florida Herbarium by the Herbarium's curator.

Rolfs' correspondence as a staff member at the Florida Agricultural College are located in Series 87 and 88 of the University of Florida Public Records Collection. His records as head of the University of Florida's agricultural programs will be found in Series 21, 30, and 89.
