Catalogue: Peeds Seeds

CATALOGUE: Peeds Seeds.

British printed plant catalogues were rare before the mid-eighteenth century. Merchants conducted most business locally and many people saved or exchanged their own seeds and plants. Seeds and plants were also often sold as a side business by estate gardeners or by merchants who also sold other wares. Documentary evidence shows the existence of nurserymen and seedsmen around London from the early sixteenth century; however, the oldest surviving copies of English seed and nursery trade catalogues date from the second half of the seventeenth century. Robert Furber of the Kensington Nursery published the oldest surviving printed catalogue in pamphlet form in 1727.
