FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is the people’s flower. It makes a more gorgeous, dazzling display than any other 
outdoor-grown flower. Immense bloom can be had from our improved varieties, which in size, 
beauty and style rival the finest house-grown, single-stem chrysanthemums. We have a mag- 
nificent collection of the best sorts grown. 
The Dahlia is of the easiest possible culture. Plant in good soil in the full sunlight, and keep 
the ground well worked or mulched, and you will be repaid by showers of bloom. When the frost 
kills the tops, lift the roots and place in any cellar where they will not freeze. I offer strong, pot- 
grown plants that will bloom early and continuously, and be far more satisfactory than roots, 
which I do not sell.
