Step back in time with this enchanting vintage seed packet from the early 1910s, featuring the captivating Cosmos flower from the Burt's Seeds Company of New York. The intricately designed packet, adorned with delicate floral illustrations and elegant typography, transports us to a bygone era of simple pleasures and close connections with nature. The Cosmos flower, a member of the Asteraceae family, was a popular choice among gardeners during this period for its vibrant colors and unique beauty. The seeds within this packet would have been carefully sown and nurtured, bringing joy and wonder to gardens across America. The Burt's Seeds Company, established in the late 1800s, was a leading supplier of high-quality seeds during the 1910s. Their commitment to providing gardeners with a diverse range of seeds, including the Cosmos, helped to fuel the growing interest in home gardening and horticulture during this era. This beautiful seed packet is a testament to the rich history of gardening in America and the enduring appeal of the simple pleasure of growing one's own flowers. The intricate design, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement, is a visual delight, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time.
