Sources for 19th C-era seeds & plants?

[Seamus116PVI]

Anyone know a quality mail order catalog seller or two selling "grow your own" plant varieties (flowers and vegetables) likely to have been grown in 1860s-era flower and food gardens?

Seeking web links and/or email contact addresses to 21st century source(s) from which to possibly purchase "authentic" seeds and plants.

Just do a web search for "heirloom seeds" and you could spend hours of family fun looking up exactly what you need. There is an ever-growing market out there.

I'm a big fan of Seed Savers Exchange out of Decorah, Iowa.

Also Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.

And D Landreth Seed Company http://www.landrethseeds.com/


I just put up on my web site Vicki Betts' list of seeds this company has that are documented prior to 1870 if this will help you.
