PROMINENT CANADIAN HORTICULTURISTS-xxvii 



H. L. HUTT, B.S.A. 



farm, he early learned the business side 

 of fruit growing. From earliest boyhood 

 he was a horticulturist, for as a little 

 child, he was making gardens and plant- 

 ing little trees — and the ardor of this 

 child love was not dampened by the 

 hard practical work of after years, for 

 even yet his horticultural duties at the 

 college are pursued with the same loving 

 devotion that was evinced by him in the 

 little "play garden," of his childhood. 

 Such men usually succeed, because they 

 take a real interest in their work. 



In 1890, Mr. Hutt received his diplo- 

 ma for a full course at the O. A. C., 

 together with a gold medal for general 

 proficiency ; and in 1891 he took his 

 degree of Bachelor of the Science of 

 Agriculture, at the University of Toronto. 

 He then returned to his father's farm 

 and spent a couple of years in putting 

 into practice the lessons learned at col- 

 lege ; and it is stated that within three 

 years the cropping of the farm was nearly 

 doubled owing solely to the adoption of 

 improved methods learned at college.
