Yep, it looks like it's spelled wrong, but that's what is on the seed package. The best I can figure, this packaging is from the 1880's
There is no date on the pack, but the typeset used by this company (Wm Henry Maule) changed many times throughout the companies history.
There is very little information on this variety, but here's some computer interpreted scanned text. A lot of gibberish, but there are some good areas. W is translated with Av, some of the stuff, I have no clue. Do a text search for Oronoko though.
I'm going to try to bring the last few remaining seeds out of dormancy. This should be fun if it works. If anyone knows any tricks to getting 130 year old seeds to come to life, let me know.
