 so readily as the gladiolus, and by repeated plant- 

 ings, a continued bloom may be had all summer 

 long. The long spikes are graceful and fascinating 

 in their great array of colors, cut as first flower 

 opens and placed in water, the flowers develop for a 

 week, even to the last bud.

 intervals until the end of June, and you will have 

 flowers until late fall.

Don't Expect the 

 Impossible 



Roses that have been propaga- 

 ted in hot, moist greenhouses will 

 naturally be full of sap and much 

 too delicate to do well out-of- 

 doors until they have had time to 

 accustom themselves to changed 

 conditions. You cannot expect 

 to have immediate success with 

 plants that are thus lacking in 

 vitality and you are lucky if they 

 withstand the first frost. . But 

 you can expect to have immediate 

 success with 



Fairfax Roses 



because they are grown slowly 

 under natural conditions and 

 wintered out of doors. They are 

 thoroughly hardy, acclimated to 

 snow and frost, and have tough 

 canes and vigorous roots. They 

 will thrive anywhere and bloom 

 freely the first season. Planted 

 this spring they will make a lovely 

 rose garden for you this summer 

 which will be a constant delight for 

 many years to come. 



Let me send you my 1916 Rose Book — Free 



It not only describes the 150 different kinds 

 of hardy Fairfax Roses, illustrated with photo- 

 graphic reproductions, but it gives you care- 

 ful instructions on growing roses so as to have 

 the greatest success with them.
