Paul, the top image is at the limits of my eyesight but appears to contain a cyclical date of possibly the summer of the wu wu year, which last rolled around in 1906 and 1966. The calligraphy but not the seal in the bottom picture is legible. On the right is another cyclical date, this time for the start of winter (tenth lunar month) in the geng shen year, which came by in 1908 and 1968. In pinyin this line reads "geng shen chu dong." The other line reads "xi hua lou zhu ren' (Literally "the Master of the Flower-lover's Building," or perhaps "the Manager of the Greenhouse")
Regards,
Bill H.
