PREPARE EOR EASTER! 



From whom will we purchase our Easter supply?

 he shall be our man this Easter, an<i, as long as lie 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.

Easter Lilies, LlUum multiflorum, 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

 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 "cracker- 

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

And Asrhmann himself is so entranring — 



That I Nimply ran't resist; I must send him an order today. 

 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! 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. 

 The lilies are the very best yet seen on Easter day. 

 Azaleas are whole sheets of flowers, perfect in every way. 

 The Araucarias matchless are, so are the ferns all green, 

 With bulbs, and plumed Spiraea, the best you've ever seen. 

 And Aschmann gives a challenge, let every florist hear, 

 For flowers or prices, either, no rival does he fear.
