■^Now that Elecliofl is Ovei 



Prepare for Thanksgiving and Cfiristmas 



and the Uncer- 

 tainties Removed 



We protect the trade. We employ no fakers, no drammers. No department 

 stores 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 hie 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. 



We Lead Hit Country in Araucarias 



Have been intbe lead in the past; have it now 

 aDd shall lead in the future. 



We have houses full of choice Excelsa robnata 

 oompacia and Excelsaglanca; enough to sup- 

 ply the entire country. 



Will you 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. My 

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

 50e and 60c: a jambo for 75c to $1.00; and a holy 

 terror in size for $1.25 to $1.50.

 fully 10 per cent to 20 per cent bigger than adver- 

 tised below.

 man! and Scottii Ferna, 5, 5^, 6 and 7-in., all
