EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming vintage lettuce seed packet from the Card Seed Company of New York, dated around 1910. The intricately designed packet showcases an array of beautiful lettuce varieties, each with its distinct name and illustration. The use of muted colors and delicate floral patterns adds to the antique charm of the piece. Lettuce was a popular vegetable in American gardens during the early 1900s, and seed companies like the Card Seed Company played a crucial role in providing gardeners with high-quality seeds to grow their own produce. This lettuce seed packet is a testament to the rich history of gardening in America and the importance of seed companies in supplying home gardeners with the tools they needed to cultivate their own fresh, homegrown produce. The packet features a variety of lettuce types, including 'Buttercrunch,' 'Crisphead,' and 'Lollo Rosso,' each with its unique characteristics. The illustrations on the packet provide a glimpse into the past, showcasing the types of lettuce that were popular during that time. The Card Seed Company's logo, featuring the image of a man holding a sheaf of wheat and the motto "Hansons Seeds," adds to the historical significance of the piece. The use of the word "Hansons" instead of "Card" suggests that there may have been a name change at some point in the company's history. This vintage lettuce seed packet is not only a beautiful addition to any garden or kitchen decor, but it also serves as a reminder of the rich history of gardening in America and the important role that seed companies played in supplying home gardeners with the tools they needed to grow their own fresh produce.
