This set of three unique greeting cards features historic botanical art of plants introduced by Isabella Preston at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in the 1920s and 30s. The artist, Arthur Kellett, worked for the Department of Agriculture, and the art was created circa 1940. These prints were reproduced in Blooms: An Illustrated History of the Ornamental Gardens at Ottawa’s Central Experimental Farm (also available here on Shopify). The cards depict Preston’s ‘Millicent’ rose, ‘Gatineau’ Siberian iris, and ‘Scugog’, one of her well-known Rosybloom crabapples.
This special offer includes 3 cards with envelopes for $10, usually sold for $4 ea. Available as a set only. Limited quantities available.
