The Florists' Review

PREPARE FOR EASTER!! 



From whom will we purchase our Easter supply? 



be shall be our man in the future 



From our old friend. GODFREY ASCHMANN, of Philadel- 

 phia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall be 

 our man this Easter, and, as long as he ships us good plants. 

 He always treated us right before, and 'we" can rely upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff. 



It is time to get busy, for Easter is near. 

 The birds are singing, to bring us good cheer; 

 And this is the message that sweetens their song— 

 That Ascbmann has plants for which buyers long; 

 Azaleas, cohered with blossoms; Bulbs, radiant and sweet;
