1917 - Good News that Makes You Smile (and a seedsman)

"Mrs. Dibble and Miss McGowan played the "Poet and the Peasant" as a piano duet."  

This sort of news does not make the  cut these days!  The newspaper I pulled this from was delightful, sharing the good news for many New York State towns.  Included was mention of Mr. A. T. Cook who has appeared many times in this seed blog.

 I like the caterpillar :-)

1905 - A. T. Cook's Charmingly Folksy Post Card

Cruising eBay I found this quirky little postcard which caught my attention.  I haven't seen A. T. Cook's ads or advertising materials before.  He wasn't a big seed dealer but he did make a name for himself in another way. More about that later.  Today, just enjoy this!



Here is the back.
