I, too, will spend more time than I ought to, looking at that. What a treasure. Thank you very much.

You are welcome.

It is a little part of the Smithsonian. So, we can all pat ourselves on the back .

Can't you imagine a few of these hanging on the wall of our potting shed with a tea kettle whistling on the hot plate and a full cookie jar on the counter? Excuse me while I push the dog out of the Adirondack chair and make myself comfortable . . .

Since I don't have a potting shed I'll have to settle for a few above my desk.... are those chocolate chip cookies Steve?


Thanks for the great link, I'm sending it to my sister, it's right up her alley.

These are great! Although I love browsing the modern on-line catalogs, it's easy to see why these old fashioned catalogs were highly anticipated each winter. What a sense of hope and well-being to browse through one of these on a cold winter's day!

 

[Southern Gardener]

What a great link. I'll have to browse and print!
