Vintage Seed and Nursery Catalog Graphics

We had our sixth snowfall of the winter season last night! It has already melted, but that doesn’t stop the weatherman from predicting additional waves of fresh snow coming our way soon. The holidays are over and we all could use a little pick-me-up as we get firmly settled into January. Seed and nursery catalogs are arriving in our mailboxes right now and we’re thankful for that! They are a great reminder that cheerier weather is really not that far away.

So let’s do a little daydreaming! How about combating the dreary doldrums with an exploration of beautiful vintage catalog covers! I have found a treasure trove of these covers RIGHT HERE from the Smithsonian Institution Libraries.

It is the source for the positively exquisite examples shown in this post and also in my recent post about planting daffodil bulbs. I cleaned up these up a little bit with Photoshop. But the original graphics are in such great shape that they could be used without any editing too.

I hope you have fun exploring and that these darling graphics brighten your day!
