The Florists^ Review 



155 



PREPARE FOR EASTER!! 



From whim will we purchase our 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 the past and he shall be 



. our man this Easter, and, as lonK 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. 



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 



2t ^U ^^^ ^^^^ *^** florists need, found in one place to grow. 

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



Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect in every way. 



The Araucarlas, matchless are the Ferns all green, 



With bulbs and plumed Spiraeas, the best you've ever seen; 



And Aschmann gives a challenge: "Let every florist hear! 



For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear; 



If you wish to gather dollars like Violets in the Spring, 



Then send your largest order— his plants the cash will bring."
