Prepare for Easter! 



From whom will we purchase our Easter supply? 



From our old frieod, 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 U3 good plants, he shall be our man in the future. He always 

 treated us right before, and we can rely upon him. What he aSvertises is true and is no bluff.
