The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



61 



i^Prepare for Thanksgiving and Christmas 



We protect the trade. We employ no fakers, no drummers. No departttaent 

 ijtores handle our goods. We have great faith in Uncle Sam (the mail). He is 

 our partner. 



Look at the photo! What a lively time at Aschmann's, the busy bee 

 unpacking his big importations of Azaleas, Palms, etc. We have it. Have 

 what? An immense stock of the choicest salable plants in season and everybody 

 who sees them will be astonished and say, "No use talking, you're a cracker-jack." 

 I am going to make things lively this fall. Five thousand Araucarias, twice as 

 many Ferns, Palms and Azaleas and many thousands of other salable stock 

 must go at panic prices. By Christmas all must be sold. Why ? We want the 

 room to force our extensive Easter stock.

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

 lead in the future.
