The Florists' Review 



76 



HONOR TO WHOM HONOft IS DUE. 



Godfrey Aschmann, the Philadelphia 

 plafitsman, at the aL.ee m£ 67, is as active 

 as ever (a visit to Ms "establlsfTTm»nt will 

 convince you). He is a native of Switzer- 

 land, of the right thinking, active, fiery, 

 type, and, like the Deutsche Kaiser, full 

 of Courage and ambition. He is not afraiil 

 of the combined armies of the so-called 

 florists, and he is sure he will carry the 

 field when other florists are down-hearted 

 and holding back on. account of hard times 

 and afraid to invest a dollar. Godfrey 

 Asclimann has his e^as open — he watches 

 and looks into the futm-e — buys up all the 

 good stock he can get, fills his houses |with 

 the choicest and is -prepared when the 

 rush comes.
