PREPARE FOR EASTER 



FROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY? 



From our old friend, Godfrey Aschinann, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall bt' our 

 man this Easter, and, as long as he ships us good plants, he shall be our man in the futun^ He always treated us right before, 

 and we can rely upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff. 



What Florists Say About Our Lilies 



Daily visitors to our establishment, among 

 them two well known growers, one from Cincin- 

 nati, Ohio, the other from South Orange, N. J., 

 ■say: "You !iave the best lilies we ever have 

 seen on our visits to many florists' establlsh- 

 wents. We congratulate you. You certainly 

 ■can be proud." 



An immense stock of choice Easter plants, 

 tilooming Easter week, or earlier, if desired, are 

 ■now ready for 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, from 

 the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for many 

 jears past, is sufficient guarantee to prove our 

 ability.

 tor us under contract by an Azalea specialist In 

 Belgium for the last twenty years. Have four 

 tiouses full of the choicest. Only best well-

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

 the Deutsche Perle we have no white to offer in

 have to be carried over for another year. This 

 first variety the year Imported does not do well,

 are growing, the 10-in. bult>s, and therefore he 

 ships to us the cream of the plants of Japan.

 nothing happens, every customer and others 

 who want HIIps. If you see them growing in our 

 greenhouses you must all admit they are "crack-
