1893 - Heroine Peas - A Symphony of Green

When you strip away all the intellectual reasons why I keep poking around in the past after seed related facts and stories, what is left is my delight in the illustrations!

This one is from Peter Henderson's Manual of everything for the garden : Columbian year 1893.

Oh, and by the way, I overlooked the Sturtevant's Parsnip Chervil to Pepper installment, skipping ahead to 1890 - Portugal Cabbage to Rocambole .   Sigh...



I love the lithographic grain.
