Seven of the cards depict a boy in blue Elizabethan dress, holding a sprig of dogwood, beneath the word "Programme." A larger branch of dogwood, with pink flowers, fills the remainder of the panel. Five of the cards are identical to this design, except that the boy is replaced by a girl in purple Elizabethan dress. The girl holds a flower basked in her left hand and raises a red flower to her face with her right hand.
