Fairfax Roses Will Put New Life 

 Into Your Home Rose Garden 



This is a sample of Fairfax Roses as I grow them in my Nursery 

 — right in the heart of the best Rose-growing section of the United 

 States, where the seasons are long and mild, yet cold enough to pro- 

 vide that period of "ripening" and rest so essential to the production 

 of Roses that will thrive in the North. 



And Fairfax Roses do thrive in the North — and in the West and 

 the East as well. Wherever Roses are cultivated, my Roses will 

 show most satisfactory results — will put new life into your home 

 Rose Garden. 



I Have More Than 100,000 

 of These Splendid Plants 



— hearty, vigorous specimens, every one of them, with ample roots to take hold in the 

 soil of your garden and throw out lusty canes with the return of spring. 



This extensive stock covers more than 200 sorts — all the leading varieties that can be 

 successfully grown, particularly in the hybrid tea class. 



My book "Fairfax Roses for 1 9 1 0," tells of the finest stock of Roses I have ever grown and 

 explains my successful methods of Rose propagation. I 11 gladly send a copy if you say so.
