Ixia

Victorian gardeners associated the Ixia with happiness, and this line from 1937 reflects the company’s robust business as the country emerged from the Depression (Roseville sales and production peaked just a few years later). The stylized blossoms seem to be blowing in the wind on backgrounds of green, pink-green, and yellow-brown. Marks are impressed.
