View old catalog pages and listings

Jeffery_Goss · May 6, 2008

You can see old catalog pages and old seed listings on the internet through a research tool called Heirloom Seedsmen. Jeremiath Gettle of Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds has begun scanning his extensive basement collection of old seed catalogs, mostly from the early 20th century, and you can view some of them at www.heirloomseedsmen.com .

Jeffrey, If you look below in this Forum you'll see a post by nctomatoman who also has an extensive collection of old seed catalogs.

Between Craig's and Jere's scans there should be some great viewing.

I took a look at HeirloomSeedsMen.com. Interesting site. I could not seem to figure out how to actually read scans of the old catalogs, just text entries. It's great that someone has gone to the trouble to enter all this text, but I'd love to see the original artwork too.
