branding accompanied the American seed industry as it expanded from the era of the -Revolution through the late nineteenth century to meet demand from growers of grains, vegetables, and flowers. Among the most important seed houses was the firm of D. Landreth
in Philadelphia, founded in 1784, which became a leader in the industry’s development and practices. Like other seed houses, Landreth’s at first issued catalogues that simply listed the varieties of
<a name="_GoBack"></a>seed on offer, but in the 1850s, the industry having grown far more competitive, it began issuing catalogues with illustrations that increasingly touted new varieties and sought to protect the Landreth brand against competitors providing
fraudulent and impure batches of seed. The firm’s advertising and packaging evolved into a system for protecting its IP that in 1884 began enlisting trade-mark law for the purpose.</font></span></p>
