Fairfax Roses will grow 

 in YOUR garden 



just as well as they do in ours. They are propagated 

 under natural conditions— not forced in hot green- 

 houses. They are hardy, vigorous plants that will 

 thrive in all climates. They are all wintered out of 

 doors and will bloom freely the first season. The 

 great care we take in selection has enabled us to pro- 

 duce blooms of such extraordinary beauty that Fairfax 

 Roses are celebrated amongst rose growers everywhere, 

 and there is no reason why you should not be able to 

 grow them just as well as we do. Send for a copy of my 



1918 Rose 

 Book — Free 



It not only describes and 

 illustrates the hundreds 

 of beautiful hardy kinds 

 of Fairfax Roses that 

 will thrive in your 

 garden, but it tells you 

 how to grow roses with 

 the greatest success. If 

 you are having trouble 

 with your roses, write me 

 about it and I will gladly 

 advise you what to do.
