"April showers bring May flowers" : Seed catalogs from the Biodiversity Heritage Library digital archive and collection.

This morning I was looking for some images of doodles that Charles Darwin did as a schoolboy and I found The Biodiversity Heritage Library. They currently have 94,574 titles, 160,944 volumes and 46,190,311 pages online that are downloadable and free. If you choose, you can just read these entire books online. You don't even have to log in.

They use the most up-to-date presentation software so it is just like holding the book in your hands. Being early May I thought you might like to see the covers of a few of the hundreds of antique seed catalogs they have. The entire catalogs can be seen here
