We proudly carry Olds Garden Seeds! These are only sold through independent garden retailers nationwide. The Olds' brand dates back to 1888, when Levitt Lincoln Olds founded the L.L. Olds Seed Co. at Clinton, WI. Through the years, Olds became known for selling only the finest quality seed of better varieties, whether selling alfalfa and seed potatoes for Wisconsin farmers or garden seed through a mail order catalog for 100+ years. We sell Olds seed by the packet and in bulk. We sell in bulk to save YOU money! For example: prepackaged beans are $1.99 verses the same amount of bulk seeds is about $0.70. Our seeds have arrived and are available until we run out.
