The Kruse family first started farming in the Lake Oswego area in the 1850s, when Otto and Frances Kruse arrived from Germany. By the early 1900s, the family was especially known for their cauliflower, grown in the deep topsoil near the west end of the lake.
Here we see Charles Kruse delivering part of his crop in Portland. Note that he's prepared for this photograph by turning three heads right-side up, so we can appreciate the quality of his produce.
