PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS 



We employ no fakers, no drummers. No department 

 We have great faith in Uncle Sam (the mail) . He is 



Inttrior view of one of our houses of Ariuciria Excelsa Glauca and Robusta. 



We Have Araucarias to Beat the Band 



W^ Looi( for Bargains Now 



We protect the trade, 

 stores handle our goods, 

 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 Araucarias 

 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 

 Araucarias, twice as many Ferns, Palms and Azaleas and many thousands 

 of other salable stock must go at panic prices. Hy Christmas all must be sold. 

 Why? We want the room to force our extensive Easter stock. 



We Lead the Country in Araucarias 



Have been in the leail in the past; have it now 

 and shall lead in the future. 



We have houses full of choice KxceUa robusta 

 compacta and Kxcelsa glauca; enouN:hto 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 nuard. We are going 

 to sell all of them and witJiout drummers. By 

 jlnKo, we must sell them: an elephant for 40c, 

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