Professor Samuel Taylor Maynard accompanied his parents from Hardwick, his native town, when six months of age, to Harvard, where the family lived about three years and moved to Northboro, Berlin and again to Northboro, respectively. He was schooled in the various common schools of the towns where his parents lived, and then entered the MA College of Agriculture, from which institution he graduated in 1872. For three months after his graduation he went as foreman for the Nonantum Hill Nursery at Brighton. From that position he went to the College of Agriculture again as its assistant professor of horticulture, and then became professor of botany and horticulture.
