Here's a new, old stock packet of seeds from the 40s in excellent, well-preserved condition! It's been stored in a dry place for generations and yet the packet is very clean, colorful, and unstained. This is "The Wonder Packet" from Mandeville & King Co. of Rochester, New York. Their lithographed seed packets are among the best-looking ones of this period, and they are seldom found for sale, let alone full and unopened! This one has never been opened and contains "many different varieties" of different kinds of seeds, according to the packet itself. The front of this packet features a lithograph of a garden with a path running through it, featuring a vast array of pretty flowers. It was originally priced at only 15 cents! Now days, it's difficult to find 1940s 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 past. It is possible and some folks have documented their success while providing instructions on YouTube. Exceptionally cute and well-preserved, this packet of seeds is a nice find! We will ship as a USPS Flat in a padded envelope to help preserve the seeds from damage.
