Seed Catalogs from Yesteryear

(Wow, when was the last time you heard "yesteryear"?)

Another service from the online digital collections of our own Smithsonian Institution Libraries--500 illustrations from 258 early seed catalogs.

You can browse by Company; Flower; Fruit; Vegetable; People and the Material World; or Other.

They're ALL cool!
