Fairfax Roses — The Aristocrats of Rosedom 
Diidicss of WeHiiigtoii. SS 
as intense saffron yellow, stained with crimson, 
which, as the flowers develop, changes to a deep cop- 
pery yellow. Old gold would 
better describe it ; it is a particu- 
lar shade of color not seen in 
other Roses, one that is quite 
unique, and will attract in- 
stant attention in any collection. 
When a number are massed to- 
gether there is no Rose than can 
equal it in decorative effect. 
The blooms are semi-double, re- 
sembling Killarney in shape, but the 
individual petals are larger, and the 
Rose is of the very largest size and de- 
lightfully fragrant. The plant is sturdy, 
stocky and a very strong grower. It is 
one of the Roses that you cannot do with- 
out. Price, 1-year mailing size, 2S cts. ; 
strong 2-year plants, 65 cts. ; extra 3-year 
plants, 85 cts.

the good points of, and is identical in every 
way with, its parent, except in color, which 
is of a clear white. Its parent, Killarney, 
though introduced only ten years ago, has 
for several years been one of tbe most pop- 
ular Roses. White Killarney has great free- 
dom of bloom, beautiful form and perfect 
hardiness, which, together with its purity of 
color, assures for it the same popularity. In 
naming a select list of leaders for general 
planting I should certainly include White 
Killarney, because I know its merits so well 
and know that it will please. Price, strong

White La France. Recommended to all, 
whether for outdoor culture or for pots in 
the house in winter. If you were to ask for 
six of the very finest Roses, I should be sure 
to include it in the six. It is identical with 
La France, except in color. It is pearly 
white, often tinted with fawn. Price, mailing 
size, 20 cts. ; strong 2-ycar plants, 60 cts. 
Frances Scott Key, H. T., new This is 
another one of John Cook’s splendid produc- 
tions, and has the appearance of being one 
of tbe best bright-red garden Roses ever in- 
troduced ; in appearance it is much like 
Helen Gould, but larger, and instead of the 
dull red of that Rose is a brilliant scarlet.
