Joseph Breck (17941873), businessman and horticulturist, established the Joseph Breck Company in 1818 as a carriage manufacturing business. Meanwhile, his interest in flowers and p lants developed into the editorship of the New England Farmer, one of the earliest agricultural magazines in the U.S. Breck moved to Brighton, Massachusetts in 1836 and established a nursery while also expanding his business interests into a seed and agricultural implement store called Joseph Breck & Sons in Boston. This early 20th-century catalogue includes items such as the "Yankee Pulverizer," hog scrapers, woven hammocks, rotary washers, Rice's Lice Paint, ice saws, and much more. Show more
