Does anybody know what was in the vegtable and herbs garden of the
1840's? I'm putting together the garden that Franklin Pierce (our 14th
President) had in the 1840's and I 'd like to know what he might have
grown. I'm guessing it was peas and onions but does anyone know what
else? Thanks for the help.

I gave an answer further down in the thread about possible "search terms" to
use on Google, but I also found this info -

If you are interested in actually purchasing seeds or plants from that era, go

That link is for Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts. In the gifts
section, select "garden" and look at the vegetable seeds that are listed for
sale. You get a short description on each one you click on.
