Biographical NoteReturn to Top
A native of Beaver City, Nebraska, John C. Snyder received his B.S. in 1929 from Ohio State. He continued his education at Iowa State receiving an M.S. in 1930 and a Ph.D. in 1932.

In November 1967 at the age of 67, Dr. Snyder succumbed to a heart attack. Throughout his career Dr. Snyder was an active member and officer in the Washington Horticulture Association. Dr. Snyder published many articles in popular farm and garden journals as well as writing several horticulture publications for home and industry.
