Seed boxes and Seed Packets of Hiram Sibley Co.

Gifts keep raining from the sky...or at least, cyber space!
I  just bumped into these photos of Sibley's  display boxes and seed packages and packets!  I had never found any seed packets before.  I don't know why I hadn't, given the size of his operation.

These plump bags filled with seeds and tied with what was probably red string are the first I have seen of this type package from any company.  Packages are so ephemeral it is alway exciting to find them!





















This following box seems to have been varnished at some time and it has darkened.
