Always the best is my endeavor, 



Godfrey Aschmann must not be beat; 



Here and in Europe, all know that I never 



Will buy the poor trash they sell on the street. 



I'vejust had a lot sent over the ocean. 



The finest azaleas that ever were grown. 



My ferns and my palms, I have a strong notion 



That all florists who see will make same their 

 own. 

 While the fair araucaria cannot fail to delight. 

 Thanksgiving and Christmas will see them 

 just right; 

 So come, get together and make up the buyer. 

 If you don't boost the world, it will never 

 rise higher. 



We lead the country in Arancartas. Have 

 been in the lead in the past; have it now and shall 

 lead in the future. 



We have houses full of choice Excelsa robnsta 

 compaoaandExcelsaglanca; enough to sup- 

 ply the entire country . 



Will jrou pay 50 per cent to 100 per cent more 

 by buying from others who are not specialists? 

 Hope not; the wise are on guard. We are going 

 to sell all of them and without drummers. By 

 jingo, we must sell them; an elephant for 40c, 

 50c and 60c; a jambn for 75c to $1.00; and a holy 

 terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50. 



Room! Room!! 



We must have room for our great importation 

 of azaleas, palms etc. Everything has to go at 

 crackerjack prices. We are all seeking for great 

 shows. It is nature. The greatest show on 

 earth. The Founders' Weeli of Philadelphia, 

 which has just closed with such brilliancy that 

 whoever witnessed this unique affair will begin 

 life with more strength, more courage and more 

 confidence in the great American flag, which was 

 BO conspicuous in the great street parade of Fri- 

 day, October 9. This flag shall be my flag, in 

 which I trust my business and welfare now and 

 forever more. 



Now is the time for floral exhlbitio's. 



Come and look at the show which we are now 

 displaymg at our greenhouses, in the rear of 

 1012 West Ontario Street and Thayer Street. A 

 full, whole S(iuare. from Tenth to Eleventh Street, 

 is occupied, which is now flllerl with cases of
