Women, interspersed among flowers, are engaged in various activities, such as social work, dancing, attending the theater, and as brides. The accompanying verse begins with the stanza, “O city flowers, what kin are you / To country children of sun and dew? / Hot-house-bred wantons, glad to be sold / To bloom and be sweet for Sin and Gold!”
