1892 - Lithography Dots from Mastodon Corn; W. W. Barnard & Co
Litho Dots
I have to recover from my last poor choice in seed articles.
Here is a selection of my beloved dots from a back cover of a W. W. Barnard & Co catalog from 1892.
(Plus, any corn named Mastodon deserves not to be forgotten.)

Lovely shell pattern of dots below :-)
Hexagonal dot filled patterns below are not all the same... which is what I find so attractive.

1894 - Today's Farm Litho: Bird's Eye View of Burpee Seed Farm
What can make a lithograph more appealing to me?
Being a bird's eye view of something, that's what!!
It is just so much fun to walk around the farm with those little people. Enjoy!
I love the stipling. It can evoke so much detail with a pile of dots and overprinted colors.

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.
