I think I'll go with the Burpee 1901 and maybe the daffodil catalog cover! Here's another - Alneer Brothers(?)! You can click on the image above. It will take you to the Smithsonian pages where you can save, edit and print your own.

I had thought about posting the front cover of the 1901 Burpee catalog. Using an abundance of caution with regards to copyright, I did not. The Smithsonian has "their" copyright information at the bottom of the page & I read that but they mentioned "3rd parties."

The picture above was edited a bit - the paper had come off a little on the watermelon rind. Picasa has good editing tools. Some of the catalogs are missing corners or have been folded . . . I don't know why someone decided to put an "X" in blue ink on some . . . a lot can happen in a century, I suppose.

Be sure to look thru using the various search boxes. For example, if you look just for "Livingston Seed" - you only get ONE catalog!! If you search "Tomatoes" - you get a dozen Livingston catalogs!
