Kansas Seed Company
Lawrence, Kansas

The Kansas Seed Company, operated by
F. W. Barteldes, grew and imported seed which it then marketed
throughout the plains states. Along with a traveling sales
force, they operated at least two seed stores. One in
Lawrence, Kansas and the other in Denver, Colorado. |

store located at 804 Massachusetts Street. The structure was
damaged by fire in 1904 and again in 1997. The cast-iron
storefront has survived. |
