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 I 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, 

 lilit 



The lilies are the very best yet seen on Easter 



day, 

 Asaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect In 



every waj-. 

 The Araucarias matchless are, so are the ferns 



all green. 

 With bulbs, and plumed Splrsa, the best you've 



ever seen. 

 And Ascbmann 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, 

 bloomiuK Easter week, or earlier, if desired, are 

 now ready lor immediate shipmf nt. 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, trom 

 the Atlantic to the Paciflc Oceans, for many 

 years past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our 

 abiUty. 



Go to Headquarters for Azaleas 



Axalea Indica is a specialty with us. grown 

 for us under contract by an Azalea specialist in 

 Belgium for the last twenty years. Have three 

 houses full of the choicest. Only best well-known 

 American varieties are imported, and are now in 

 excellent condition, covered with buds. Just right 

 for Easter. We ship only good stock, full of 

 buds and flowers. 



What is the name of the best double pink aza- 

 lea? Mme. Van der Cruyssen is the name, 

 originated by the well-known azalea specialist 

 Mr. Van der Oruyssen of Belgium. Millions are 



raised every year and shipped to every point of 

 the globe from Belgium. We have a big stock 

 on hand of this so well-known and favorite vari- 

 ety in tip-top condition. Every plant is as round 

 as an apple, covered with buds, just right for 

 Easter trade. 6 to 7in. pots, 60c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, 

 $1.50 to $2.00 each. 



Deutsche ferle. This is the best pure double 

 white, 6-in. pots, 75c, $1.00 to $1.60. Outside the 

 Deutsche Perle we have no white to offer In 

 small sizes, because the other varieties, Niobe 

 and Bernard Andrea alba, of which we had a 

 large stock, during transportation across the 

 sea and during winter lost all their buds and 

 have to be carried over for another year. This 

 first variety the year imported does not do well, 

 but makes fine plants the next year. All the va- 

 rieties, except these two whites, are in fine con- 

 dition, full of buds and flowers and A-1 stock. 



Bernard Andrea alba (white). We have 

 mostly big plants, $1.50. $2 00, $3.00 to $3.50 each; 

 a few smaller sizes, 75c, $1.00 to $1.25. Niobe, 

 also white, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 each. 

 Vervaeneana, De Bctaryveriana (double va- 

 riegated), 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50.

 dia, 50c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. Apollo (red),

 as John l>lewellyn, Ilmperenr du Bresil, 

 Taliaman, Helene Tlieleniann, etc., 75c, $1.00 

 to $1.25. When we are out of one color, we send 

 the next similar color: also, if we are out of the 

 size ordered, we send the next size either above 

 or below the price mentioned. 



Easter Lilies, Lilium Multiflorum, the genuine 

 Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us. 

 We have a friend in Japan who looks after nur 

 interests there. He picks out for us only the 

 good, healthy ones, and marks them while they 

 are growing, the 10-in. bulbs, and therefore he 

 ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan. 

 We have lilies this year to burn; can supply, if 

 nothing happens, every customer and others 

 who want lilies. If you see them growing in our 

 greenhouses you must all admit they are ''crack- 

 erjacks." We sell them cheap, too. Where other 

 florists get 16c per bud, we only charjre you 10c 

 per bud, for plants in 6in. oots, having 5, 8, 10 

 and more buds to the plant. Plants under 5 buds, 

 12c per bud, 6-ln. pots. An order for a reasonable 

 quantity of other stock must accompany the one 

 for lilies. An order for lilies only will not be 

 filled.

 5ia-ln. pots, 25 to 30 inches high, 50c, 60c and 75c;
