PREPARE FOR EASTER 



FROM WHOM WILL WE PURCHASE OUR EASTER SUPPLY? 



From our old friend, Godfrey Aschmann, of Philadelphia, of course. He was our man of the past and he shall be our 

 man this Easter, 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 upon him. What he advertises is true and is no bluff. 



What Florists Say About Our Lilies 



Daily visitors to our establishment, among 

 tbem two well known growers, one from Cincin- 

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

 say: "Yon have the best lilies we ever have 

 seen on our visits to many florists' establish- 

 ments. We congratulate you. You certainly 

 can be proud." . 



An immense stock of choice Easter plants, 

 blooming 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 

 years past. Is sufficient guarantee to prove our 

 ability. 



Go to Hcadquartf rs for Azaleas 



Azalea Indica is a specialty with us, grown 

 for UB under contract by an Azalea specialist in 

 Belginm for the last twenty years. Have four 

 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 

 azalea? Mme. Van der Cruyssen is the name, 

 originated by the well-known azalea specialist 

 Mr. Van der Cruyssen 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 

 Raster trade. 6 to 7-ln. 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 $1.50. Outside 

 tlie 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, 

 l>ut makes fine plants the next year. 



Bernard Andrea alba (white). We have 

 mostly big plants, $1.50, $2.00 to $3.00 each; 

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

 also white, 50c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00 

 each. Vervaeneana, De Sohryveriana (double 

 variegated), 75c, $1.00, $1.25, $1.60 to $2.00. 



Frofesseur Welters, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. 

 Fras. Oswald de Kerchove, $1.00, $1.25 to $2.00. 

 Empress of India, 50c, 75c, $1.00, $1.25 to $1.50. 

 Apollo (red), 50c, 60c, 75c to $1.00. Other good 

 varieties, such as Helene Thelemann, etc., 75c, 

 $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 to $2.00. 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. 



Hydrangea Otaksa never was as good as this 

 year, green as grass, full of buds, every branch 

 stocked up. SVi, 6 to 7-ln. pots, 25c, 35c, 50c, 

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



Easter Ulies, Lillum multlflorum, the genuine 

 Japanese Easter Lily, directly imported by us. 

 We have a friend in Japan who looks after our 

 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 bum; 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 15c per bud, we only charge 

 you lOo per bud, for plants in 6-in. pots, having 

 5, 8, 10 and more buds to the plant. Plants 

 under 5 buds, 12c per bud, 6-in. pots.

 35c, 50c, 75c to $1.00 each.

 dry summer in Holland last year, will be very

Araucaria Bobusta Compacta, Glauca and Ex- 

 celsa. Our reputation of being one of the largest 

 Importers and shippers of this beautiful ever- 

 green decorative plant is so well known, dating 

 far back Into the 19th century, that our name, 

 as well as the Araucaria itself, shall never die 

 out, and Is still fresh in people's minds same 

 as when we first started. Why the Araucaria is 

 80 popular is because it is an ancient plant, kept

 their household, as a good omen.
