1940s Crosman Seed Co. Vintage Unopened Packets with Flower Seeds!

We found some very nice, old Crosman Seed Co. seed packets that were never opened and still containing the seeds! Crosman Seeds, of Rochester NY, is one of the oldest seed houses still in business, having been established in 1838.

Each of these 1940s vintage packets has a beautiful, lithographed image on the front, in sharp vibrant colors. All of them are marked "10 cents"; all of them have descriptions and directions on the backs.

These packets are clean and none are torn or have ever gotten wet. There is a little yellowing from age but all present very well. Available varieties: Linaria, Sweet William, Double Hollyhock, and Snow on the Mountain (Euphorbia).

These are difficult to find new old stock seeds still in their original packaging. They are great for collectors of seed packets, but they are also an opportunity to try and germinate and grow actual flowers from the 1940s! It is possible and some folks have documented their success while providing instructions on YouTube. Old, varieties often look better than the genetically engineered products from today's seeds. Many varieties have been lost over the years 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! Whether you buy one or all of them, shipping cost is the same.
