These chrysanthemum flowers jumped out at me as I flipped through this old flower catalogue. (Well, virtually "flipped" through it, but you get the idea!) I love this type of flower anyway, but the colorful arrangement is striking. Needless to say, I had to share it!
Below is the cover of the same catalogue, from Pitcher & Manda of Short Hills, New Jersey. (Side note - does anyone know why Victorian-era catalogs used the British spelling of catalogue? Please leave a comment if you do - I'd love to know!)
Now, because I love to play around with old images - or maybe just have too much time on my hands - I removed the background of the cover image, with one version including the text and then leaving just the flowers in the 2nd version.
