Book Description
More than a century ago, the University of California established the University Farm at Davis to showcase the achievements of its thriving College of Agriculture and to train students in the practical arts of farming. Since enrolling its first students in 1908, UC Davis has evolved into a world-class university offering a full spectrum of studies. UC Davis research over the decades has had far-reaching impacts, including innovations in viticulture and enology that have improved winemaking around the world. Colorful traditions like Picnic Day celebrate the depth and breadth of this historic institution and show off its handsome campus. Most pictures in this book come from the university archives, with some images from the McCurry and Eastman collections and others taken by the distinguished photographer Ansel Adams.

Book Description
Excerpt from Announcement of Farmers' Short Courses for 1911 at the University Farm, Davis, California Building - A two-story building, 60 x 80 feet, is primarily for the use of this division and for Farm School classes. On the first floor are well lighted laboratories for horticulture, viticulture, and botany. Immediately adjoining is a work room for plant propagation and a greenhouse. On the second floor are chemistry and soil laboratories. Two classrooms and several offices. The orchard tract proper comprises twenty acres of land, twelve of which are now planted to a miscellaneous collection of fruit and nut bearing trees. The objects sought by these plantings are three fold: (1) Educational: the orchard is being used as a laboratory in which methods of work in cultivation, irrigation, pruning, and the general care of trees are being studied and done. (2) Experimental many varieties of fruits are now growing in the orchard. These were chosen with the idea of trying out the different kinds and determining their value to the State. Among other interesting exhibits in the orchard are some eighty varieties of peaches. (3) Standardization an important object aimed at in this orchard is the growing of trees truly representative of the various varieties, so that in the future, scions that will be useful in maintaining the integrity of these varieties may be sent out to growers. Many different varieties of walnuts are now planted and growing as avenue trees.' The uses of these plantings are the same as those ascribed to the orchard. A nursery tract of some two acres is now in use and many kinds of trees are being propagated in it. The usefulness of this part of the Horticultural work to the student can hardly be over-estimated.
