The Florists' Review 



101 



PREPARE FOR EASTER!! 



From whom will we purchase oar Easter supply? 



he shall be our man in the future. 



From our old friend, GODFREY ASCHMANN. of Philadel- 

 phia, of course. He was our man of th6 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 bluflf. 



If you would know the fairest sight your eyes can ever see 

 Where the most perfect plants are grown, to Aschmann's come 



with me. 

 Why! ne'er since flowers began to bloom was such a glorious 



show 

 Of all the best that florists need, found in one place to grow. 

 The Lilies are the very best yet seen on Easter Day,
