About this postcard

Two red poinsettia blossoms with green leaves fill the lower part of the card, with a four-line verse of friendship above. It was sent to Sadie Armstrong in Commodore, Pennsylvania, with a short Christmas wish from Anna B. Flick. Poinsettias, native to Mexico, were becoming a familiar American holiday motif by the 1920s, and the floral design reflects that growing popularity.
