Botanical Art Stamps 2016
Product details
Today, about 1,800 botanical gardens exist across the globe. These can range from small specialty gardens to sprawling campuses that contain thousands of plants.
Botanical art has complemented gardening catalogs and magazines for over two centuries. In 1784, David Landreth established the first mail order seed catalog. His reputation grew and soon Landreth’s customers included George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
Landreth introduced the zinnia to the United States in 1798, followed by the first truly white potato, and then the tomato. In 1832, he unveiled the nation’s first floral and horticultural magazine. Following Landreth’s success, the 19th century saw an explosion of seed companies and catalogs.
The Industrial Age ushered in items of convenience and created more leisure time for many Americans. Elaborate flower gardens came in trend, and seed catalog covers were the best place to showcase new varieties. The W. Atlee Burpee Company was especially skilled in promoting new and improved seed varieties each year. Beautifully executed cover art created desire for these new varieties, and sales soared. Other companies soon followed suit and many still prefer using cover art over photography today.
These Forever®stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class MailR one-ounce rate.
Made in the USA.

| Among the stamps of the new zodiac series launched in 2020, the Year of the Ox stamp is the second. The first set of Zodiac stamps was issued between 1992 and 2005, and the second set between 2008 and 2019.
The mask design on the stamp incorporates symbolic elements. Some of these patterns are made in the style of Asian textiles. Purple flowers represent the arrival of spring. In Chinese culture, the Lunar New Year also marks the arrival of spring. The star in the center of the bull's head represents the celestial phenomena of the Chinese zodiac.
Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp with original artwork by Camille Chew. Sold in blocks of 20, the Forever stamp will always be worth the current 1-ounce price of first-class mail.
The Year of the Ox begins on February 12, 2021 and ends on January 31, 2022. People born in the same year are believed to have the same personality traits and other attributes as the zodiac they belong to. For example, the belief holds that the Ox and people born in the year of the Ox are honest, hardworking and very dependable.
There are many traditions in welcoming a new year that brings good luck and prosperity. In communities across the U.S., people shop for holiday food and other supplies, hang decorations and ceremoniously clean their homes to usher in a new year.
