A Glimpse Into the Future 
Shoivs Great Things to Come! 
M The most fascinating aspect of horticulture and gardening, are its constant g 
gj changes. In plant life, nothing is permanent. A type or class either improves, M 
Jj| progresses, or stands still and sooner or later is relegated to the scrap heap. 
1 Each year brings forth its crop of new creations, bidding for public favors. The 
U new crop of novelties in Roses, Chrysanthemums, tender and hardy bedding jjj 
plants, holds many meritorious aspirants. Among these, few compare in 
downright merit with Ada Finch — 
Most Exquisite Dahlia Ever Created 
Like a gigantic Daffodil, its nevertheless graceful form instantly captivates the hobbyist. Never § 
again can we speak of a clumsy Dahlia, for in creating Ada Finch, the breeder has forever silenced ■ 
the tongues of those who would cynically speak of the Dahlia. Among our many new finds 
discovered during the recent visits to Europe, this new Dahlia ranks first. Through subsequent |® 
announcements we shall familiarize you with other new and rare acquisitions. 
A catalogue will be mailed in due time to all customers of record,, and those among Garden Magazine || 
readers in search of the latest and best among the season’s plant novelties. J
