THE COMPLIMENTS
of the Season.
 
In the Summer we
were joyous
When the bloom
was on the May
So I send you sweetest flowers
With my love for Christmas-day.

May your CHRISTMAS
be happy
 
Only a flower
I send you
But a beautiful flower
can say
The blessings I fain would whisper
To your heart on Christmas day.

Comments:
The case is made of a blue coloured velvet with a flower design on the front. Inside is a printed triangle with a rose design, and two STEVENS printed cards, each having the printed " T.S. " initials, which define them as being of Thomas Stevens manufacture.
Each card also has a printed number. At one time it was assumed these numbers - 683 on those above - defined the card design. However, as can be seen in the images above, these numbers are repeated on different designs. The relevance of the number is hence unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments).
