I just fell in love with this seed catalog cover image. She looks like a little wooden doll about to tip over!

1896 - The "Marchioness of Bute" Dahlia Litho
It must be the litho dots. I am just attracted to them.
Below is the Marchioness. She was featured on the 1896 John Gardiner & Co. catalog.
I had not encountered any of John Gardiner's catalogues before this week. They are not especially noteworthy as they lack the over-the-top charm or vegetable enthusiasm that I prize.
However, one of them is rather different and is worth sharing.
Not very appealing, but a lot of work went into this earlier 1890 catalog.

Victorian jardinieres are so ugly they are almost cute.

Love those lithographs!
I couldn't resist sharing this one of Miss C.H. Lippincott's back covers featuring the aster, Fire King.
