 PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS 



Intirior view af ine of our houses of Amiciria Excelsa Glauca ni Robosta. 



We Have Araucarias to Beat the Band 



W^ Looic for Bargains Now 



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

 etores handle our goods. We have great faith in U^cle 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 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. By Christmas all must be sold. 

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