Blood red, silk-petaled, impossibly vivid for paper this old.

Stone lithographs from Schmidt Litho Company of San Francisco, printed for Lone Star Seed Co of San Antonio in the 1940s — images so vivid they were left without pricing until the 1950s, when the packets were finally filled in and distributed. This one never made it to a garden. New old stock, never used, in excellent condition.

Frame it alone, group it with others, or add it to one of our framed seed packet displays. A great conversation piece for a kitchen or dining room.
