Seeds of Diplomacy: Henry A. Wallace and the White Lanzhou Melon

In 1944, Vice President Henry A. Wallace embarked on a nearly two-month-long mission to the Soviet Union and Asia. What's largely forgotten is that Wallace, an Iowa native and a champion of agriculture, took seeds with him, including the ones of this beautiful honeydew that took root in Gansu Province, China. This video traces the marvelous journey of this seed. For more on Wallace's life and work, see: www.rareseeds....
