Edwardian Halloween Greeting Card Women Garden Wishes

Why are two elegantly dressed women crouching in a cabbage patch while pink florals frame the scene like a garden party invitation from hell? The pale-haired figure standing behind leans in with the energy of someone who absolutely did not ask before giving unsolicited gardening advice, while her companion reaches toward the leafy greens with the focused intensity of a woman who has fully committed to whatever Victorian Halloween ritual this is. The 'Good Luck for Hallowe'en' lettering — decorated and cheerful — suggests that the Edwardian understanding of 'luck' involved women in white dresses communing with vegetables at dusk, which, honestly, tracks.
