6 FOREVER VINTAGE SEED PACKAGE STAMPS


Flowers are among the most popular subjects on

stamps, and the U.S. Postal Service continues its

tradition of beautiful issuance's with Vintage Seed

Packets (Forever®). From hand-tinted lithographs in

the early 1800s to modern photography, images of

floral perfection have adorned the covers of flower

seed packets for more than a hundred years. The

stamp art features ten photographs of antique seed

packets (printed between 1910 to 1920), cropped

to highlight their beautiful floral detail.

Each of the ten stamps depicts the colorful

blossoms, of one kind, of flower-cosmos, digitalis,

pinks, primrose, calendula, aster, linum, alyssum,

phlox, and zinnia. Above each illustration is the

name of the flower in bold capital letters.


The Vintage Seed Packets stamps are being issued
as Forever® stamps are always equal in value,
to the current First-Class Mail, one-ounce rate.
