Artwork created to sell flower and vegetable seeds to the public is
bright, eye-catching, and tempting. It reflects the fantasy that
any novice gardener can grow beautiful plants just by buying the
seeds. This is not a new phenomenon. Over 475 boldly colorful
flower and vegetable seed artwork, catalog, packet, and publication
illustrations are arranged here chronologically (l1869 to 1997) and
alphabetically (acroclinium to zinnia) for easy reference in this
fun visual delight. Many images are from the vast and superb
collection of the Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
where the author was Director of the Heirloom Seed Project. See
unusual plant varieties from both small independent and large seed
producers, like the W. Atlee Burpee Company. A mid-20th century
watercolor illustrator's work is featured as an impressive record
of plants grown from seeds; see how many you can recognize.\nThe
stunning images will stimulate artists, gardeners, naturalists, and
interior decorators to find these and additional seed art examples
to add beauty to their lives.
