 ill my order direct to our frieud (iodirey Asch- 

 iiianu He shall be my man this Kaster. He has 

 everythint; lull and plenty and what lie a Iver- 

 tiscs is no BLfFK. We can always depend on 

 him to Ket what we need, and cheap, too. As 

 much as we know, he goes himself to Europe 

 and Selects in Belgium the (;ream of Azaleas, 

 I'alnis and Araurarias He does all that for 

 the sake i>f his customers, tu please them."

 mant state will lose their buds and leaves durim; 

 sea Voyage and during winter up to February 1, 

 and have to be kept o\ er for another year. We
