Description：
The Industrial Age ushered in items of convenience and created more leisure time for many Americans. Elaborate flower gardens came in trend, and seed catalog covers were the best place to showcase new varieties. The W. Atlee Burpee Company was especially skilled in promoting new and improved seed varieties each year. Beautifully executed cover art created desire for these new varieties, and sales soared. Other companies soon followed suit and many still prefer using cover art over photography today.

Today, about 1,800 botanical gardens exist across the globe. These can range from small specialty gardens to sprawling campuses that contain thousands of plants.
Botanical art has complemented gardening catalogs and magazines for over two centuries. In 1784, David Landreth established the first mail order seed catalog. His reputation grew and soon Landreth’s customers included George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Landreth introduced the zinnia to the United States in 1798, followed by the first truly white potato, and then the tomato. In 1832, he unveiled the nation’s first floral and horticultural magazine. Following Landreth’s success, the 19th century saw an explosion of seed companies and catalogs.
These Forever®stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class MailR one-ounce rate.
