1950's annuals

16 years ago

I'm currently involved in the restoration of a historic garden. Currently I'm trying to locate the names of varieties of pink Petunias and French Marigolds that were available around 1955. If anyone knows of a suitable reference to obtain this information, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank you! Gwen

While there may be copies scanned online, what is and isn't available that way is pretty hit or miss. The Massachusetts Horticultural Association claims to have a lot of old catalogs. An awful lot of old catalogs. They do have an online listing of what they have, so you can see what might be useful. It will probably take a trip down there to see the stuff.
