BE WIDE-AWAKE AND PREPARE FOR THE HOLIDAYS. 

 It won't pay you to let others get ahead of you. Don't look at what 

 is behind, but go right straight forward. Make a break for GOD- 

 FREY ASCHMANN'S greenhouses, to the old reliable firm who 

 always looked after your interests and who protect you in your 

 trade. We have no department store customers. We sell strictly 



to the trade only. If you have room, now is the time to purchase your supply, while the weather is mild and shipments can be made 



safely. It is of no use to look elsewhere for cheaper prices.
