Comments: H. B. Cowan (Nee: ) | Ontario Canada | 1901-1920 | Comments: This picture of Mr. H. B. Cowan appears on page 147 of The Canadian Horticulturist, vol.XXVII, no.4, April 1904. There is some small amount of information on him on pages 144-145 of that volume. Please see that reference for more details. He was Canadian from Eastern Ontario. In 1901 he was editor of the Ottawa Valley Journal. He became involved in road improvement and horticulture and arranging fairs and competitions. He was also editor of the New England Homestead at Springfield, Massachusetts. He was a well known athlete and held the Canadian single blade paddling championship at one time. He was also a good wrestler. He later worked for the publication Canadian Horticulturist. That is all the information I have on this picture. I am not researching this line, just saw the photo and thought I'd post it.
