 quieter situation. Roses are selling at 

 wholesale at 50 cents to $1 per hundred; 

 carnations, at 50 cents to $1; asters, 25 

 cents to $1; sweet peas, 15 to 30 cents; 

 gladioli, $5 to $8; Easter lilies, $5 to 

 $8; bachelor's buttons, 25 to 50 cents; 

 lily of the valley, $3 to $4; Beauties,

Godfrey Aschmann's Song 



Tl NE— JOHS 



In the early morning'.s sunlight upon tho sea 



I go 

 To search the lands of Europe for th(^ finest 



plants that grow. 

 I only buy the very best, those only you must 



know 



Are good enough for me. 



In the towns of little Belgium there are Arauea-

 And Azaleas with their promise of enchanting 



beauty rare. 

 1 mean to beat the world with my shipment over

Just good enough for me. 



Buown's Body 



I leave at home in my own hoiise the lovc.lifst 



Ferns on earth. 

 And mean to match them with tall Palms of quite 



transcendent worth. 

 My Cyclamen and Primroses I've tended from 



their birth- 

 All good enough for me. 



When I come home I want you all to come and 



see my show. 

 The sight of my Lorraines will set your heart 



and eyes aglow ; 

 Their health and beauty, bloom and leaf— tlieii 



(mly will you know 



What's good enough for me.
