(BarAetis nn^amiie 
NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR 1939 
THE horticultural EXHIBITION • CONDUCTED BY HORTUS INCORPORATED 
JUST TWO DAYS MAKE A GREAT DIFFERENCE! 
At the A. D. S. Show, September 26th and 27th, 1939, we took FIVE FIRSTS 
and SEVERAL SECONDS. On September 29th, just two days later, our dahlias 
were at their best. The result was we took the most prizes at the “Garden on 
Parade” Show, New York World’s Fair. In checking” up on our entries, we were 
very pleased to find that we had secured TEN FIRSTS, SEVEN SECONDS, 
A GOLD MEDAL, and TWO BRONZE MEDAL CERTIFICATES. 
In fact, the PARRELLA DAHLIA GARDENS captured more prizes than any 
other dahlia garden or individual. Our dahlias made such a fine impression at the 
Fair that the “Garden on Parade” authorities granted us permission to continue 
with our beautiful display. In other words, our display was kept in first class 
condition, from September 29th until October 31st, closing of the World’s Fair. 
Needless to say our beautiful dahlias were admired by the millions of visitors. 
Perhaps you may have been one of the admirers. In closing, I am taking this 
opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to the “Garden on Parade” Authorities 
for their courteous treatment, also our thanks is extended to the millions of 
visitors for their fine comment on our dahlias. 
ALBERT PARRELLA.
