🍎 Happy National Johnny Appleseed Day! 🌱
Born John Chapman in 1774, he planted apple nurseries across the frontier, symbolizing growth & resilience. From cider apples to Disney fame, his humble legacy proves small seeds grow into lasting legends.🌳#JohnnyAppleseedDay #SeedsOfHistory #AmericanLegends
Page from historic seed catalog, "Maule's Novelties and Specialties for 1901", showing information about and photos of giant ear of sweet corn and an ear of Kendel's Early Giant Sweet Corn
Well that's one way to get the best seed for breeding giant sweet corn! This early 20th century seed catalog advertised a $50 prize for the largest ear grown that season. And if you don't win the prize, at least this variety will "excite the admiration of your friends". #SeedsOfHistory
