TESTIMOirr FROBI'MICHBI.1.. 



I personally visited Mr. Aschmann's greenhouses September 21, 19C9,'and found that the Aran- 

 carlaa, BeKonla Ololre de Liorralne) Boaton, Wliltinanl» Scottli^Amerpohlii, Todeaoides 

 ferns, Rabber Plants, Kentlaa and Areoas are indeed A No. 1. Have never seen any better 

 plants. The Oloire de Lorraine begonias in 6-in. pots are a perfect wonder, bushy and clean. Have 

 never seen his greenhouses fllled with plants as good as they are now.
