You Can Have Roses Just as Nice as This 

 When You Use My Sturdy "Fairfax " Plants 



Growing Roses is easy or hard, just as you make it. When you start with vigo- 

 rous, thrifty, sturdy bushes, that have been wintered out of doors, it is easy to have 

 roses even finer than that shown here. When you plant forced roses, that have lost 

 all their vitality through excess of greenhouse heat, you have to wait years for them 

 to recover — if they will. 



Fairfax Roses are "The Aristocrats of Rosedom" 



Fairfax Roses are allowed to grow slowly, forming strong roots and hard, firm wood. In the fall 

 they are dug and stored in pots, out of doors, ready for shipment the next spring. Crisp winter 

 weather gives them a long dormant season — and when they reach you they are ready to produce an 

 abundance of perfect blooms. 



Every condition of soil and climate is so favorable that Fairfax Roses become truly superb. The 

 soil is right to establish lots of heavy, healthy roots and good, stout canes. The climate is right to 

 develop rapid, but hardy, growth; This combination lacks only one thing and I have supplied that — 

 the ability to propagate the best varieties and fill orders accurately and to the sai ; sfaction of customers. 



"Mrs. Aaron Ward" the Beautiful NewYeHo* 

 from France, 50 Cents for Two Year Plants 



Rose 



My finest new Rose this year is Mrs. Aaron Ward, a beautiful yellow Hardy Hybrid Tea from 

 France — shown in the engraving to the right. Visitors to my Rose gardens go into raptures over this wonderful acquis- 

 ition, .which blooms profusely throughout the season. The blossoms are very large, of exquisitely fine form, and are of a 

 delicate Indian-yellow color, which shades lignter toward the edges as the flower opens. The demand for this Rose so far 

 has exceeded the supply. Now, however, I have a large supply of sturdy two-year bushes. Price, i-year mailing size, 

 25 cents postpaid. Sturdy two year plants, 50 cents each, §5 per dozen, by express. 



My Free Book Tells How to Grow the Finest Flowers 



I have just issued my attractive IQ13 catalogue, full of 

 helpful information. If you expect to buy roses this year, 

 I'll be glad to send it to you. It tells about roses from the 

 view-point of cne who knows them, admires them, and lives 

 among them. It lists roses of many types and colors and
