A woman with her four children looks at the chrysanthemums in People's Park, Shanghai. 
The rhyme below the image:
名种菊花满园开,万紫千红放光彩, 
看花不忘种花人,辛勤劳动巧手栽。
Famous varieties of chrysanthemums fill the garden, blooming in a riot of color,
When you watch the flowers, don’t forget the people who cultivated them, who planted them with hard work and skillful hands.
This is a print from the 21st edition (June 1957).
