 "G-o-d-f-r-e-y A-8-c-h-m-a-n-n." "Ol Yes. the

 uf business dcpresBlon. Is It possible to sell an 

 Araucaria Robust a CompactaorExcelsa (ilauca,

 Christmas tree, worth 110 00 for only 12.60? Yes. 

 Aschmann does It. How to trim: Tie a bow of

Have Araucarlas to Beat 

 the Band 



At only half of their normal price. How is it 

 that Aschmann can sell so cheap? It Is strange. 

 Answer: Because we have made a specialty of 

 Importing and growing araucarlas for the past 15 

 years. Have them grown for us by an araucaria 

 specialist of Ghent, Belgium, under contract; 

 about 10,000 every year of Robusta Compacta,

 ped to us In the spring of every year.

 Mr. Godfrey Aschmann: 



My Dear Sir— The shipment of plants recently 

 ordered from you came to hand in good condi- 

 tion. Kindly accept our thanks for your prompt 

 attention. Yours very truly, 



A. T. Ebvin, Associate Professor. 

 The good old year is dying, the dark days come, 

 No florist should be sighing o'er work undone; 

 Springlike with blossoms gleaming, fragrant 



and gay, 

 Should be both store and greenhouse, for 



Xmas day. 

 To Aschmann you should travel fast, and buy 



the best, 

 Or mall your orders, while they last, he'll do 



the rest. 

 Then when you balance up your books, you all 



will say 

 You never on more dollars looked than 



Xmas day. 



Please mention ilin or out of pots. All eooda must travel at purchaser's risk. 



Cash with order, please.
