AIAUCARIA8 



OUR 

 SPECIALTY 



Aiaucaria Ezcelsa is a Christmas novelty of 

 ours that has no end. Twenty-five years of im- 

 porting, cultivating and shipping of Araucarla 

 Excelsa gained us such a reputation all over 

 America, from ocean to ocean, that It has aroused 

 the young as well as the old. and has Inflamed 

 them to such an extent that they want at least 

 one or two of these so much prized evergreen 

 pine trees at Cl^ristgias on the Christmas table 

 or tn any suitable p)Me in the home. Look! 

 Christmas trees will be scarce this Christmas. 

 Why? Have you read the report of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, Notice of 

 Quarantine No. 4 (Domestic), effective on and 

 after Nov. 25th. 1912? This is on account of 

 two injurious insects, the gypsy moth and the 

 brown tail moth, and contains some regulations 

 on Christmas trees, especially for some of the 

 eastern states. If you will write to the United 

 States Department of Agriculture, they will mall 

 you all particulars on this subject. A Christmas 

 tree everybody wants to have, especially for the 

 dear little ones. Now, what will you do? "I 

 know what I am going to do. I will write an 

 order to Godfrey Aschmann for an Araucarla for 

 our table. It will serve a two-fold purpose. 

 First, It will do the duty of a Christmas tree; 

 second, we will then place It in our parlor as an 

 excellent permanent decorative plant."
