PREPARE FOR EASTER 



An Immense Stock of Choice 



EASTER PLANTS 



Blooming Easter Week 



or earlier if desired, are now ready 

 for immediate shipment. 



Come or mall your order direct to the head- 

 quarters. Our reputation over the entire country 

 from the Atlantic to the Paclflc In growing Eas- 

 ter stock for the wholesale market for many 

 years past ought to be sufficient guarantee as to 

 the truth of what we say and advertise. We 

 have every house, nook and corner full of plants 

 and they were never so fine as this year, 1907. 



While laborers, merchants, Jobbers, contract- 

 ors, builders, etc., have increased their prices al- 

 most double as usual, we have not advauced our 

 prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same 

 old prices charged two or three years ago when 

 the cost of producing plants was much cheaper. 



What was my daty on mjr trip to Ghent, 

 BelKiam (the land of azaleas, araacariaa 

 and palms), last fall, 1906? Answer: Of 

 course, the interests of my customers, not 

 speaking of the 1100 souvenir cards which I 

 mailed to my customers In America. For the 

 beneflt of my customers I also bought Azalea 

 Indica for Easter trade, the cream of Belgium's 

 production that money could buy.
