FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
HYBRID PERPETUAL 
Prince Camille dc Rohan. Crimson. A 
magnificent Rose, celebrated the world over 
for its large, handsome, fragrant flowers and 
the freedom with which they are produced. 
The color is a deep, rich, velvety crimson, 
passing to intense maroon shaded black; at a 
short distance they appear really black. 
Vick’s Caprice. Rose. The only hardy 
Rose that has any variegation. It is a vigorous 
grower, and bears large and fragrant flowers of 
bright rose, distinctly striped with a rich 
crimson. It is altogether a most unique and 
pretty variety. 
Anne de Diesbach (Glory of Paris). Rose- 
color. Long, pointed buds and large, finely- 
formed, compact flowers; very full and double, 
and delightfully sweet. A vigorous grower 
and a fine bloomer. 
Black Prince. Crimson. Much sought 
after because of its splendid dark crimson 
flowers, which are shaded so deeply as to be 
almost black; cupped, large, full, fine shape. 
Very hardy. Price, 15 cts.; 3-inch pots, 25 
cts.; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 
Chestnut Hybrid. Red. This Rose is 
growing in favor as it becomes known. A 
most beautiful deep rose or red. 
Clio. Fresh. Two first-class certificates 
awarded by the Royal Horticultural Society. 
This variety is of very vigorous growth, and 
has large, handsome foliage. The flowers are 
flesh-color, shaded to the center with rosy 
pink. They are very large, of fine, globular 
form, and freely produced. A grand addition 
in the style of Baroness, and unquestionably 
the finest of all Roses for flowering in pots and 
forcing. 
Conrad F. Meyer. Pink. Hybrid Rugosa 
Rose. A most valuable addition to the list of 
hardy, free-blooming Roses. It surpasses all 
others of the type in fullness of flowers. The 
color is beautiful, a pure silvery pink. It is 
of ironclad hardiness. Its beautiful foliage 
alone would recommend it as an ornamental 
shrub for the garden. For a flowering hedge 
it should eventually take front rank. The 
fragrance of the flowers is spicy and delightful. 
Price, strong mailing size, 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 
heavy 2-year plants, 40 cts.; extra-heavy 
3-year plants, 60 cts. 
Coquette des Alpes. White. A lovely, 
pure white Rose. Very full and free in flower; 
delicious fragrance. 
Indianapolis, Ind., May 10, 1916.

ROSES — Continued 
Countess of Roseberry. Pink. The color 
is satiny pink in the center and deepens on the 
outer petals to a bright rose. The feather- 
shading gives it the appearance of two distinct 
colors. Very free-flowering and a good grower. 
Price, extra-size 3-year plants, 50 cts. 
Dinsmore. Scarlet. A vigorous, healthy 
Rose of dwarf, branching habit. The flowers 
are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling 
scarlet-crimson color, and have the rich, spicy 
fragrance peculiar to the best Hybrid Tea Roses. 
General Jacqueminot. Crimson. A rich 
velvety crimson, changing to scarlet-crimson. 
A magnificent Rose, equally beautiful in the 
bud state or open. The best known of all 
Hybrid Perpetuals, and is without a rival in 
fragrance and richness of color. It is perfectly 
hardy in most situations. 
Giant of Battles. Red. The very best 
rich red Rose; very large, double, full and 
sweet; excellent. 
Gloire Lyonnaise. Yellow. Theonly yellow 
Hybrid Perpetual we have. It cannot be called 
deep yellow, but rather a pale shade of chamois 
or salmon-yellow, deepest at the center, some- 
times passing to a rich creamy white, finely 
tinted orange and fawn. 
Gloire de Margottin. Red. The flowers 
are very large and of symmetrical form, some- 
what globular, full and deliciously scented. 
Color, clear, dazzling red — one of the most 
brilliant Roses ever seen. Free bloomer and 
vigorous grower. 
Henri Martin. Carmine. A magnificent 
Moss Rose. Extra large and perfectly double. 
Deep rosy carmine, shaded a bright crimson; 
mossy and fragrant.

state, changing to dark green. Blooms are 
very large, 7 Yi inches in diameter by 5 inches 
deep, and beautifully formed; flowers full and
