Description

Roland Morrill was one of the most important horticulturalists in the early 20th century. He developed the Heart of Gold cantaloupe. After failing miserably at peach growing in Texas, he died. His wife, Joanna, took over the farm, got it out of bankruptcy, and became the first woman honored as one of four leading horticulturalists in 1936 by the Michigan State Horticultural Society.
