"Wild English Daisy: Daintiness," from the series "Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers," is a trade card created by the American Tobacco Company in 1892. The card features a young woman with blonde hair and a red bonnet standing amongst a field of white and pink daisies. The image is a colorful and whimsical representation of the flower, and it is likely that the card was intended to appeal to a wide audience. The card is also a testament to the popularity of the "Language of Flowers" in the late 19th century. Trade cards, like this one, were often used as a form of advertising.
