EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right this way, dear gardener, and let me show you where to place your iris among these blooming beauties. In this charming 1930s photograph, Mary Contrary, the whimsical character from the nursery rhyme, welcomes you to her quaint garden with an outstretched hand and a beckoning gesture. Mary, depicted as a black silhouette in profile against the lush, yellow background of her flower garden, holds a round, circular place marker labeled "Mary Contrary" in one hand and a watering can in the other. The scene is set in a quintessential 1930s garden, with a variety of flowers in full bloom surrounding Mary. Chickens peck at the ground nearby, adding a touch of rural charm to the image. The gardening kit, complete with a watering can and a place marker, adds a practical touch to this whimsical tableau. Mary Contrary, a character from the nursery rhyme "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," is known for her contradictory actions, such as planting her garden "with cockle shells and cabbage stumps." However, in this photograph, she is a helpful guide for gardeners, showing them exactly where to sit and plant their own irises among the vibrant flowers in her garden. This delightful image, circa 1937, is a charming reminder of the simple pleasures of gardening and the enduring appeal of nursery rhymes. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, let Mary Contrary be your guide as you cultivate your own garden full of beauty and wonder.
