Current G>mment* 



Eetailers report business holding its 

 own, with about enough stock to supply 

 the demand. 



E. A. Nelson has the contract to fur- 

 nish the plants for Woodruff Place this 

 year. 



Alfred Pahud surprised the craft by 

 getting married last week. 



Hans Kipke, of A. Wiegand & Sons, 

 has been on the sick list for the last 

 week. 



Woerner & Coy, who recently opened a 

 store at Sixteenth ana College avenue, 

 report business good. This firm is cut- 

 ting callas in quantity. 



Smith & Junge will build a new house 

 this year and devote it entirely to 

 orchids. 



Albert Pettit is contemplating adding 

 another house this year. 



The Florists' Club had its regular 

 monthly meeting at the Walhalla March 

 10, with a good attendance. The club in- 

 tends to send a bowling team to Cincin- 

 nati this summer. You can rest assured 

 that it will be a good one, for we have 

 some star bowlers. 



George Wiegand returned this week 

 from a week's stay in Washington. He 

 reports a fine time, notwithstanding the 

 slush. 



W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, was in town 

 March 13 to attend the quarter century 

 ceremonial and the laying of the corner- 

 stone of the new Shrine temple. 



H. L. W. 



NEWBURGH, N. Y. 



Funeral work has kept the craft busy 

 of late and used up all available stock. 

 At the funeral of a prominent lady the 

 Yuess Gardens Co. had the family order 

 and executed what was conceded to be 

 the most handsome pieces seen here. The 

 seed branch of this firm's business is in 

 full swing. An order from a town in 

 the western part of the state, for 12,000 

 packets of seed, following a large order 

 for bulk seed from a neighboring city, 

 for the purpose of distribution among 

 the school children, is evidence of the 

 growing popularity of gardening with 

 the youngsters, and it should be encour- 

 aged by the craft to the fullest extent.

North Straffoed, N. H. — Frank K. 

 Jones has taken a lease of the Foss 

 greenhouse for this season and is here 

 getting it in readiness for his line of 

 vegetable and flowering plants.

PREPARE EOR EASTER 



TROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY? 



From our old friend, Godfrey ABcbmanD, of Philadelphia, of course. He ivas our man of the 

 past and he shall be our man this Eaeter, and. as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our 

 man in the future. He always treated us right before and , we can rely upoQ him. What he adver- 

 tises is true and is no bluS. 



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 Blaster 



day. 

 Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect In 



every way. 

 The Araucarlas matchless are, so are the ferns 



all green, 

 With bulbs, and plumed Spiraea, 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. 



An immense stock of choice Easter plants, 

 blooming Easter week, or earlier, if desired, are 

 now ready lor immediate shipment. Come your- 

 self or mail your order direct to headquarters. 



Our reputation in growing Easter plants for 

 the wholesale market, to which we ship all over 

 the entire country, Canada and Mexico. Jrom 

 the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, for many 

 years past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our 

 ability.

 for us under contract by an Azalea specialist in 

 Belgium for the last twenty vears. Have three

 white. 6 in. pots, 75c. $1.00 to $1.50. Outside the

 large stock, during transportation across the

 have to be carried over for another year. This 



All i:ooda must travel at purchaser's risk.

 greenhouses you must all admit they are 'crack-
