It is a pleasure indeed to announce that the recent Dahlia Show 
again proved conclusively the superiority of many of my intro- 
ductions. “Millionaire” again was awarded highest honors as 
being in a class of its own for size. 
But please do not feel that I am biased in favor of large Dahlias. 
W rite for my catalogue, and become acquainted with the more 
than thousand different kinds which I consider my pets. I love 
them all, and long for the day when every Header of Garden 
Magazine will love the Dahlia as I do.

AIRPLANE photograph of Hicks Nurseries (copyright by 
James Suydam, New York). In the foreground are 
big, broad, symmetrical lindens, oaks, beech and 
maples 20 years old; next block to the north are pines, fir, 
and spruce of the same age. In whichever of Shakespeare’s 
seven ages of man you are in, you want time-saving trees. 
You cannot afford to wait longer for them. You should 
come and see the special advantages in ordering them in 
November. You can use your time and the time of your 
gardener to the best advantage. It is also to the best 
advantage of the trees. Everything from Hicks Nurseries 
is guaranteed to grow satisfactorily or replaced with a new 
tree dug at the nursery. 
Winter gardens are what you should start now. We will show 
you how to add to them ferns, arbutus and liepaticas. . It will be 
your garden- expressing your ideas with a souvenir of stone or plant 
for every trip to the nurseries, woods, mountains or seashore. 
You have read Wilson’s articles on the new plants of the Arnold 
Arboretum. Thanks to Prof. Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum and 
to Mr. John Dunbar, Supt. of Highland Park, Rochester, we can 
offer you some of them.
