The Florists^ Review 



77 



Florists Look! Prosperity! Prosperity! Prosperity! 



PREPARE FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE HOLIDAYS 



Election is now over, the country is settled, Godfrey Aschmann elected with a big majority. 

 At last prosperity has arrived. Fill and stock up your houses now with the best for the 

 Holidays; turn your pennies into dollars. ^ 



i^ 



When they counted the vote there could be no mistake, 

 Godfrey Aschmann was at head of the poll. 



The Bull Moose was nowhere and Debs was a fake. 

 While Taft was left In a hole. 



WHEN THE YOTi: WAS COUNTBD. 



Aschmann showed us his charms, then back to their farms 



His competitors scurried In haste. 

 His Araucarlas, Ferns, Azaleas and Palms 



Appealed to all who had taste. 



Not one of lot ever knew how to pot 

 Up a plant In the way it should grovr. 



The contest was hot. Who said it was not? 

 No one else had a ghost of a show. 



Said the Florists all around, "None better are found, 

 We're for Aschmann down to our last cent.' 



With volumes of sound to his house they're bound 

 To stock up with the best, their Intent. 



And they singr. as they go. "Our old friend is not slow. 

 He's on top of the heap, all his rivals below." 



49~ Look and ••• what Mr. Frad J. MIchall, of tha ao wall-known 

 firm, Hanry F. MIchall Co., of Phlladalphia, hao to aay about 

 our plant, Sapt. 14, 19&2: 



"I have just visited the greenhouses of Oodfrey Aschmann, and must say 

 that It was Indeed a great surprise to me. I have never seen a better lot 

 of Araucarlas, Ferns of all sixes and varieties and prices. Rubbers, 

 Palms, Azaleas and all other seasonable plants ready for shipment, 

 as are at present at Mr. Oodfrey Aschmann's." 



"Saskatchewan GreenhouEes, E. J. Coster, Prop.. Prince Albert. Sask.. 

 Can.. Oct. 29. 1912. Godfrey Aschmann. Esq., Philadelphia. Pa. Dear sir: 

 Your shipment of $33.60 worth of ferns Oct. 23rd arrived in flrst-clasa 

 shape, and I heg to state that I never bought as good ferns at the price 

 in iny life, and I have been buying them for over sixteen years. Now I

 you have done this last time. Yours truly, E. J. Coster." . .

AZALEA INOICA 



New importation, unpacked and in first-class 

 condition, full of buds. I must say that they 

 stood the sea voyage well, and I do not say too 

 much when I say that ever since 1 began the 

 Azalea importing I never received sucb a fine lot 

 as this time. If you want to force Azaleas for 

 Christmas successfully, do not wait long, but 

 start right away, giving at first 50°, then 55°, 

 and gradually raise the temperature to 60° -65°, 

 when they show color then slowly cool off again. 

 We have Petrick, the best early pink, Deutsche 

 Perle, double white, Simon Mardner, double pink, 

 Vervaeneana, double rose variegated (one of the 

 best old standard varieties), Pharailde Mathilde, 

 resembles Vervaeneana, but much lighter in 

 color, SOc, 60c. 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. For 

 later and for Easter blooming we only imported 

 the well known American varieties, such as 

 Mme. Vander Cruyssen, Paul Weber, Niobe, John 

 Llewellyn, Apollo, DeSchryveriana and a few 

 others (the Christmas varieties also can be kept 

 for Easter very easily), 50c, 60c, 75c, $1.00, 

 $1.25, $1.80 to $2.00. We only ship out good 

 stock, all are worth the money charged for 

 them — but look. Brother, the importing of 

 Azaleas is no more profitable; when they arrive 

 in America we have to pay 50 to 60% on duty, 

 freight and other charges; in Europe we have 

 to pay $2.50 for every box for packing, and have 

 to pay duty on the packing also. Therefore we 

 must have the CASH WITH THE OBDEB. and 

 nothing else.
