Biography

Georgeson immigrated to the United States in 1873 to attend college, graduating from Michigan State College in 1878.[1] He received his master's in 1882 from the same institution,[1] and ultimately a doctorate from Michigan State in 1916.

From the beginning of 1886 to near the close of 1889, he was in the employ of the Japanese government, as Professor of Agriculture at the Tokyo Imperial University, in Tokyo, Japan, in the College of Agriculture and Dendrology.[1] On his return to the United States, he was appointed Professor of Agriculture and superintendent of the farm at Kansas State University. In 1898, Georgeson was appointed Special Agent in Charge of the US agricultural experiment stations, and sent to Alaska. He remained in Alaska, developing the region's agriculture, until retiring in 1927. Georgeson died in 1931 in Seattle, Washington.

He was well respected as a plant breeder and agronomist and developed the Sitka hybrid strawberry. The Georgeson Botanical Garden is named in his honor. Georgeson was also associate editor of the Rural New Yorker from 1878 to 1880.[1]

gollark: However, I *did* run `strings` over them, and they contain what looks like obfuscated data of some sort, HTTP request text which seems to be for spreading the exploit to other stuff, and also seemingly random spammy strings which look like edgy teenagers added them.
