Very sweet but not the least bit saccharine

I'd be very tempted to use this to make many many dozens of little bird cookies

Return from the Insect Fair, Very Scarce Clapp and Treat Seeds Trade Card, Hartford CT, 1890s shoe makers Very sweet but not theSuch a fun one, and trade cards for vegetable seeds are my favorite. Especially a giant beet on wheels pulled (punningly) by a beetle! (Clever.) I can't find another like it out there, though have found a few references to Clapp and Treat seeds; I believe this dates to the 1890s or so. 5" x 3", good condition, bright and crisp, with a bit of stain visible along left edge and some old glue staining (not sticky) around the edges of the reverse side.
