Carlotta Norton Smith

Carlotta (Julie’s daughter) gardening, August 1908.  I don’t believe that watering can exists anymore, but we have similar (riveted tin).  The bench still exists. Several interesting things here: note the fitted apron, I think blue and white, the glove apparently only on one hand, the hat! and brooch.   It looks to me like she is watering breadbox poppies, the ones that create poppy seed.  And I am intrigued by the tall ornamental grass in the background; we tend to think of that as a modern gardening accent, but it clearly isn’t.
