Chrysanthemum Flower Child ~ Storybook Page

Here is a shabby vintage storybook page that includes an illustration of a beautiful Chrysanthemum flower child. The page also includes the following short poem:

CHRYSANTHEMUM is Japanese,
She’s a fine lady, if you please;
She comes to see us once a year,
About the time Thanksgiving’s here.

Here is a cleaner version of the chrysanthemum flower child.

The page is from Flower Children, The Little Cousins of The Field and Garden by Elizabeth Gordon. The book was published in 1910.
