The Weekly Florists' Review^

NOW THAT ELECTION IS OVER 



and the uncer- 

 tainties removed 



PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS 



We Lead thB Country in Araacarlas 



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 

 eompacta and Ezcelsaglaaca; enough to bup- 

 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. By 

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

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

 terror in size for $1.25to $1.50. 



TAKE NOTICE! 



Plants have grown considerably and are now 

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

 tised below. 



Pour houses full of choice Boston, Whlt- 

 manl and Scottii Ferna, 5, h^, 6 and 7-ln.. all 

 pot-grown, raised in sunny houses (not white- 

 washed), which will produce stiff fronds; never 

 were so fine as this year. Next on the program 

 we carry a fine stock of choice Kentia Palma, 

 Bnbbera, Besonla Oloire de Lorraine, etc., 

 which stand a challenge with those of all the 

 notable growers of America and Europe.

We H ave Araucarias to Beat the Band 



WW Looic for Bargains Now "^8 



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

 Btoree 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 Araucaria 

 King^! We have it. Have what? An immense stock of the choicest Araucariaa 

 the world can produce, together with a rare selection of other 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 

 Araucariaa, 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.
