The poem describes a memory from the speaker's childhood of going to fetch water from the neighbor's well. As a kid, the speaker would go down the path past the cow and ruins of where a fine house once stood until it was burned down.

Historic Seed & Nursery Catalogs to Document Gardens & Orchards: Digital See...MartySchlabach
Historic Seed & Nursery Catalogs can be used to identify period- appropriate varieties of vegetables, fruit, flowers and landscape plants when interpreting historical sites. A digital collection of 31,000 catalogs is freely accessible in the Biodiversity Heritage Library's Seed & Nursery Catalog Collection. Plant Information Online can help determine if the variety is available.
An overview of library types with a description of the Purposeful Gaming research project and the digitization of seed and nursery catalogs, and how research library continue to provide collections and services , but also conduct research and build digital collections.

This document summarizes a crowdsourcing project called Purposeful Gaming that uses online games to improve optical character recognition (OCR) in texts within the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). It describes how games like Smorball and Beanstalk engage the public to transcribe and correct inaccurate OCR text, thereby enhancing discovery and access to BHL's digital texts. Multiple player confirmations of a word are taken as correct, added to the index, and made searchable. The goal is to improve OCR for materials that are difficult to digitize like seed catalogs, notebooks, and handwritten texts.

This document summarizes an online game called Beanstalk that crowdsources the correction of inaccurate optical character recognition (OCR) in scanned documents within the Biodiversity Heritage Library digital collection. The game engages the public to improve text searchability by having players transcribe words that OCR failed to recognize accurately. Words agreed upon by multiple players are added to the search index. Seed and nursery catalogs are being used to test this approach since OCR often struggles with their layouts and illustrations. The goal is to enhance discovery and access to the historic texts.
This document discusses the digitization of historical seed and nursery catalogs by several collaborating institutions. It provides background on Ethel Zoe Bailey and her role in curating Cornell University's large collection of these catalogs. The goals of digitization are to make the catalogs accessible to researchers studying early plant introductions and to recreate historical gardens. Several institutions are working together to digitize over 500,000 pages of catalogs hosted in the Biodiversity Heritage Library. The document describes how the catalogs evolved visually over time from text-only broadsides to colorful photographs. It also discusses a crowdsourcing game called Beanstalk that engages the public in improving optical character recognition of scanned texts like the catalogs.
Collaborative digitization of seed and nursery catalogs by Cornell University, New York Botanical Garden, National Agriculture Library and Missouri Botanical Garden, and crowdsourcing the correction of OCRed text in Biodiversity Heritage Library.
Purposeful Gaming, OCR Correction and Seed & Nursery Catalog DigitizationMartySchlabach
An online game will be developed to crowd-source the correction of OCRed content in the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). Several additional content types will digitized and added to BHL, namely seed lists, seed & nursery catalogs, and hand-written field notebooks.
