Vegetable display by J. Strasburger
ca. 1910, by Horatio N. Topley
Carefully photographed displays of fruits and vegetables
were offered as proof of the fertility and richness
of prairie soil. Between 1892 and 1917, the Immigration
Branch filed promotional photographs in multiple albums
which were kept in the Office of the Superintendent
of Immigration.
