As he explains finding this photo in a newspaper and wanting to quite literally put it to song, using the bird’s exact locations as the notes on a scale. He concedes that it [...]

Capital Brand Red Clover & Northland Seeds Not that these have the nostalgic quality of the Depression Era feed sacks from an earlier post , but the bold branded graphics are great. These are mid century 1900′s, most likely from the late 1950′s-early 1960′s, all farm crop seeds.
