The Garden Magazine, January, 192/ 
The Lure of the New 
I T’S the love of the new, the search for better 
things that has been responsible for all progress 
from the very beginning of things. To satisfy this 
longing for the new, the House of John Lewis Childs 
adopted, scores of years ago, the policy to search for 
the worth-while new, in many lands, and bring it 
to America, regardless of work or expense involved. 
Childs’ Catalogue — The Gate to 
the Garden of New Delights 
will introduce you into a veritable wonderland of 
New Garden Possibilities. It abounds with true-to- 
nature illustrations, picturing the best new flowers 
and vegetables the world affords, in natural colors. 
It matters little what particular flowers you prefer 
— Dahlias, Gladioli, flowers from roots or seeds, 
every class has its newcomers, and the Childs’ Cata- 
logue will introduce them to you in befitting fashion. 
While mailed regularly to all customers of rec- 
ord, we desire every reader of this magazine to get 
a copy. Ask for yours to-day, and mention Garden 
Magazine. The catalogue will reach you by re- 
turn mail.
