Breck & Sons No. 2 Boston, Mass Joseph Breck & Sons was a seed and agricultural implements wholesaler and retailer in Boston, Massachusetts, during the 19th century. Its founder, noted early horticulturist and botanist Joseph Breck, was a life-long resident of Massachusetts from his birth in 1794 to his death 79 years later in 1873. Breck also served as the superintendent of the Horticultural Gardens of Lancaster, Mass., and as president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society from 1859-1862. His early fame stemmed from a book he wrote in 1833, The Young Florist, only the second book on flowers published in America. His most important work, The Flower Garden, published in 1851, was reprinted in 1860 and went through several editions. Besides his own writings, Breck worked as the editor and publisher of the New England Farmer. In 1835, Breck and Thomas Fessenden started The Horticultural Register and Gardener's Magazine, which ceased publication in 1839. Apparently, Breck took over the business of George C. Barrett after that man’s death around 1836. Please see pictures for sizs and condition.
