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 oul? 

 man this Eaater, 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 



Dally yisitors to our establishment, among 

 them 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 certalply

 blooming Easter week, or earlier. If desired, are 

 now ready for immediate shipment. Come your- 

 self or mall your order direct to headquarters.

 the wholesale market, to which we ship all over 

 the entire country, Canada and Mexico, from 

 the Atlantic to the Paclflc oceans, for many 

 years past. Is sufllclent guarantee to prove our 

 ability. 



Lilies to burn, to burn, to beat 

 the band 



Easter Lilies, Lilium multlflorum, the genuine 

 Japanese Easter Lily, directly Imported by us. 

 Ws have a friend In Japan who looks after our 

 interests there. He picks out for us only the 

 j:ood, healthy ones, and marks them while they 

 are grow^ing, the 10-ln. bulbs, and therefore he 

 <iblps 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 lili«?s. 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 10c per bud, for plants in 6-ln. pots, having 

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

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