I have an odd question. Does anyone know what type of flowers would be available in Ohio during the Civil War in late June?
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Here is a link to The Ohio Cultivator 1862: http://books.google.com/books?id=BWksAQAAIAAJ&dq=ohio%20flowers%20june&pg=PA235#v=onepage&q=ohio%20flowers%20june&f=false

Here is a different issue talking about Lilies: http://books.google.com/books?id=mDZmcRJeJmcC&dq=ohio%20flowers%20june&pg=PA182#v=onepage&q=ohio%20flowers%20june&f=false

This page lists some different flowers that bloom from May-June: http://books.google.com/books?id=K3d9Djq2Q4AC&dq=ohio%20flowers%20june&pg=PA77#v=onepage&q=ohio%20flowers%20june&f=false

There are others but I keep getting caught up in the other articles in there regarding state fairs, children's activities, weather and advertisements for equipment.

Hope that helps to get you started,

Perfect, Jessica - thank you!

Eliazbeth, you have got my curiousity going...what are you needing to know about the flowers for?  Are you doing an impression or an event you would like to share with us?  Sorry, if I am too nosey.  LOL!
