Summary note
The flowers and shrubs, having heard of the Peacock at Home, Butterfly's Ball, Grasshopper's Feast, plan a “gala” of their own, organized by Mrs. Rose who issues invitations by sending out her fragrance because the flowers “want the organs of speech”; Mrs. Rose becomes “so fatigued” by “her dissipation” that she completely loses her bloom and comes out “no more this season.”
Notes
Series printed at head of upper wrapper.
Printer from t.p. verso.
Illustrations: Captioned engraved front. showing Mrs. Rose (dated March 10, 1808) and seven other engravings of flower, depicting flowers or plants in an anthropomorphized manner that anticipates Walter Crane's work in titles such as Flora's Feast or Queen Summer); floral vignette on t.p.
