Laurence Howland MacDaniels Pomological Research Photographs. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.

L. H. (Laurence Howland) MacDaniels (1888-1986) was a horticulturist, author, and professor of pomology at Cornell University from 1923 until his retirement in 1956. He was head of the Department of Floriculture and Ornamental Horticulture at the time he retired. Among his many honors, he received the 1966 Wilder Medal for outstanding service to horticulture in the area of pomology, awarded by the American Pomological Society. He also studied the social and ethical implications of the scientific method, which became the theme of his address upon being elected to the American Society for Horticultural Science in 1940. He earned his undergraduate degree at Oberlin College and completed his doctorate at Cornell in 1917.

James L. Reveal facilitated the acquisition of this collection for the USDA National Agricultural Library. Dr. Reveal (1941-2015) was a botanist, an adjunct professor in Cornell's Department of Plant Biology, and professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, College Park.
