Burt Gardening Lathyrus Odoratus Packet Packets Planting Seed Seeds Sowing Sweet Sweetpea
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite vintage seed packet from the early 1910s, featuring the charming image of Sweetpeas in full bloom. The packet is from the Burt Seeds Company of New York, a historical American seed business that has been a trusted source for gardeners for over a century. The Sweetpea (Lathyrus odoratus) seeds encased within this beautifully illustrated packet would have been eagerly anticipated by gardeners of the time, as the planting season approached. The Sweetpea, with its delightful fragrance and vibrant colors, has been a favorite among gardeners for centuries. The intricate design on the packet showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into each seed packet produced during this era. The Sweetpea was a popular choice for home gardens during the 1910s, as it was relatively easy to grow and provided an abundance of beautiful flowers throughout the summer months. The seeds would have been carefully sown in early spring, and the plants would have been tended to with great care, as they required consistent moisture and a sunny location. This seed packet is a reminder of a simpler time, when the joy of gardening was not just about growing your own food, but also about the beauty and pleasure that could be derived from nurturing and watching flowers bloom. The intricate design on the packet, along with the promise of Sweetpeas, would have brought a sense of excitement and anticipation to the gardener, as they prepared for the upcoming growing season. This beautiful vintage seed packet is a treasure for any gardening enthusiast or history buff, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of gardening and the simple joys of nature.
