When William Beekman built The Beekman Mansion in 1802 he was almost certainly selling Landreth Seeds in his mercantile located across the road. Landreth was the largest seed producer of the time, and is currently celebrating its 225th anniversary. This collection of heirloom seeds represents a few of the varieties that were likely planted in the Beekman Garden from 1900 - 1950.

Each packet is illustrated with vintage seed illustrations from the Landreth Archives.

(NOTE: These packets will be shipped direct from Landreth Seed Company to ensure the freshest seeds available.)
