In case you folks didn't know it, one of our best contributors and a long time member of the forum has a catalogue available with natural and organic food products. I thought the least I could do would be to give him a sticky thread announcing this fact. This thread will be closed to comments, so if you'd like say something about it please start a new thread. Thanks and good luck Brook. Historic

Seeds $3.25/pkg
Amber
Globe Turnip:
A
yellowish-white, sweet tasting turnip, similar to the extinct Dutch
Yellow that was popular in the 18th
century. Amber Globe can be dated previous to 1840.
Black
Peanuts:
Peanuts,
in general, were very popular among slaves because they resemble the
African ground nut, a staple in many parts of Africa. Ground nuts
won’t grow here, however. These very rare black peanuts were
particularly appealing, because the African ground nut is black.
Black Peanuts can be dated previous to 1750.
Brown
Flax:
Fibers
from flax were used to make linen. The brown is more fibrous than the
more popular Blue Flax grown today for its oil-rich seeds. Brown Flax
can be dated previous to 1700.
Bull
Nose Pepper:
Originally
a small, not particularly sweet pepper used to make “mangoes.”
Breeders in the 19th
century kept selecting for size and sweetness until creating a
full-sized bell pepper; the #1 commercial bell pepper by the end of
the century. Bull Nose can be dated previous to 1800.
Cayenne
Pepper:
The
evidence suggests that chilis of various types were grown throughout
the colonies. Cayenne, however, is the only one we can document as
being grown, by name, in kitchens gardens. Cayenne can be dated
previous to 1790.
Clabbord
Bean:
An 18th
century pole bean that was grown up the sidewalls of buildings, in
the clapboards, thus providing its name. Currently available under
the name “Caseknife Bean,” Clabbord can be dated by name previous
to 1796.
Crookneck
Squash:
A
warted, yellow summer squash, grown by Native Americans and early
settlers. Crookneck can be dated previous to European contact.
Fife-Creek
Okra:
Grown by
the Fife family of southern Mississippi since being gifted with seed
by a Creek woman visiting them from the Indian Nations. Its large
pods remain tender when as much as 7 inches long. Fife-Creek, which
may be a variant of the Texas Cowhorn variety, can be dated previous
to 1890.
Jimmy’s
White Cucumber:
White
cucumbers were well known in the 18th
century. This one is a full-sized cuke grown in the same Kentucky
family for more than 100 years. Jimmy’s White can be dated previous
to 1890.
KY
Flat Tan Field Pumpkin:
A light
tan colored culinary pumpkin of the “cheese” type, this is one of
the sweetest eating pumpkins around. Rampant vines produce well, with
fruits to about 25 pounds. A Kentucky heirloom, Flat Tan can be dated
to the late 19th
century.
Large
Red Tomato:
A
popular commercial tomato in the last quarter of the 19th
century, Large Red’s size and shape is typical of the tomatoes
grown in the 18th
century. Large Red can be dated previous to 1875.
Orinoco
Tobacco:
Originally grown by John Rolfe at Jamestown in 1611 from seed
smuggled out of South America, this is the most common tobacco grown
in America previous to 1800. Orinoco can be dated previous to 1600.
Plum
Granny:
A naturalized, non-edible melon, with a pleasing aroma, often used
to cover body odor. Small, colorful, and aromatic. Can be dated
previous to European contact.
Sugar
Pea:
A pole
type cowpea with a sweeter flavor than black-eyed peas, although
smaller in size. Sugar Peas can be dated at least to the early 19th
century, and may be older than that.
Whippoorwill
Cowpea:
A bush type cowpea, Whippoorwill was the most popular cowpea
previous to the Civil War. This line has been in the same family
since at least 1820. Whippoorwill can be dated previous to 1800.
Yellow
Pear Cherry Tomato:
A bright yellow, teardrop-shaped cherry tomato often used to make
preserves. Yellow Pear can be dated previous to 1720.
