Description
Two original pressed poppy flowers in frame; Handwritten inscription in black ink reads: "Poppies from Battlefield of Givenchy. Gathered in 1916. Presented by Mr. Randle Taylor, 102 C.E.F." Two poppies are mounted on beige coloured paper beneath a piece of glass, within a wooden frame, painted black.
Object History
The poppies were gathered on the battlefield of Givenchy in 1916 and presented by Mr. Randle Taylor, 102nd Battalion C.E.F. Randle Taylor (1881-1963) was a Canadian citizen and resident of Vancouver. Randle Taylor volunteered for service on February 15, 1916. The Battle of Givenchy took place between December 18 and December 22 in 1914. The 102nd Battalion CEF was authorized on December 22, 1915, originating from Northern British Columbia. The Battalion embarked for Britain on June 18, 1916 and disembarked in France on August 12, 1916 where it fought as part of the 11th infantry Brigade, 4th Canadian Division in France and Flanders until the end of the war. Red field or corn poppies grew wild in clusters on and around the battle zones in the regions around Belgium and France. In May 1915, these vibrant red flowers caught the attention of a Canadian soldier by the name of Major John McCrae and inspired his poem "In Flanders Fields". During and after the war the poppy and its connection with the memory of those who died in that war was expanded to help the military and civilian survivors of that war.

Object History
Samovar from the Kwong Chai Tong Herbalist shop, located at 122 East Pender Street in Vancouver's Chinatown. The business was founded in ca. 1915 by Lim Butt.

Vessel was used to store herbal tea which was offered to visitors for maintaining the balance of their body. Shen Nong is a deity in Chinese religion, a mythical sage ruler of prehistoric China; he has been thought to have taught the ancient Chinese not only their practices of agriculture, but also use of herbal drugs. “Shennong” can also be taken to refer to his people, the Shennong-shi (Shennong Clan). According to legend, tea was first discovered by Shennong over two thousand years ago. It is written in Classic of Tea that, "The tea drinking tradition began with Shen Nong and actively developed by the Duke of Zhou." Tea was used in ancient China. It is said that Shen Nong, the God of Medicine who tasted all herbs was poisoned by 72 different plants everyday. He relied on tea to neutralise the toxins. As for how he discovered this plant which can treat all sorts of ailments, there are many different versions.

Object History
These items belonged to the Hong family - who founded Hop On Farms in Burnaby. Heritage Burnaby has a number of photos and an oral history about the family.
Used before plastic trays were used more regularly in the 1970s. In the 1970s, the business shifted to selling wholesale bedding plants so the plastic trays were more practical to give away. The wooden trays and pots were taken out to fields for transplanting and cleaned and reused regularly. The donors recall repairing these wooden trays over the winter months. The used the broken pots as bottoms for repaired pots.
See BV017.36.9 on Heritage Burnaby for photograph of these in use on Hop On Farm.
