The Florists' Review 



77 



CROICE BEDDING PLANTS 



SURPLUS, BETTER AND CHEAPER THAN EVER 



After Decoration Day 



All florists and growers have empty benches. What shall we do with them? Have them empty? Sure 

 not; no prosperous florist would think of such a thing. Don't let your money rust in the bank; nothing 

 else in the world will pay you better than to invest 



In Growing Asters 



In the right kind, such as Godfrey Aschmann grows, the Genuine Crego Asters. These bear an abundance of large trusses 

 of big flowers, suitable to cut and use in bouquets, vases, table decorations, funeral designs; these asters are also excellent 

 for pot culture. We have them in separate colors, Pink. White, Shell-pink, Cardinal-blue, Lavender. We are well provided 

 and can meet the rush. 50,000 in 2^- inch pots, large, strong plants, ready for immediate shipment, $3.00 per 100; $25.00 

 per 1000. Take the hint and consider what a profit you can make growing these Crego Asters. In the latter part of July 

 and August your Asters are ripe to cut. Then what? Empty benches again! Then we can raise another crop— replace the 

 Asters with stock for fall and Christmas sales, such as Nephrolepis of all kinds, Poinsettias, Cyclamen, Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine and other winter-blooming Begonias, Rubbers, Solanums, Chinese and Obconica Primroses, etc. This is what we call 

 hustling— utilizing your bench room to best advantage. If you want to be successful as a grower, you must be wide-awake 

 and utilize to best advantage every part of your bench room at all times; every square foot of your bench space must bring 

 you from f2.00 to |3.00 per year.
