1951 Burpee Seed Packets Unopened with Seeds!

We found some very nice, old W. Atlee Burpee Co. seed packets that were never opened and still containing seeds! Each packet is marked Dec. 1951 as to when the seeds were tested and were likely meant to be sold for the 1952 growing season. Each packet has a beautiful, lithographed image on the front, in sharp vibrant colors. They are marked '10 cents' and have descriptions and directions on the backs. Available varieties: Tomato (Marglobe), Lettuce (Big Boston), Spinach (Bloomsdale), Cucumber (Boston Pickling), Muskmelon (Hearts of Gold), and Parley (Extra Curled Dwarf or Emerald). These are difficult to find new old stock seeds still in their original packaging. Not only are they great for collectors of seed packets; they are an opportunity to try and germinate and grow actual fruit/vegetables from 1951! It is possible and some folks have documented their success on the web. Old, heritage varieties taste better than the genetically engineered products from today's seeds. Many varieties have been lost over the year as well. Imagine the fun of growing something from the past! These packets have been stored in cool, dry conditions. They are in excellent condition!
