IPIT'Doa't be defeated by buying somewhere else. It is now getting too late to monkey around. There are signs of a big 

 demand for Christmas Plants. m^We were not slow in looking forward by raising an immense stock of Choice Christmas 

 Novsltiss, Godfrey Aschmann's quality, such as described below, now in prime condition for the holidays, ready for imme- 

 diate shipment. This is our catalogue— we have no other prices; so save unnecessary correspondence. While other firms took life 



easy during the summer and fall, Godfrey Asch- 

 mann looked forward and advertised to the 

 extent of $100.00 per month, clearing the path for 

 himself for the Holiday season now here.
