Mr. W. R. Gray, Oakton, Va. ; 
Dear Mr. Gray, — The roses ar- 
rived to-day in splendid condition, 
and I have planted them. I want 
to thank you for the prompt de- 
livery, and also for the extra one 
you so kindly sent. Quite the 
queeti of my collection — and I have 
now sixty-odd, comprising such 
magnificent sorts as Mock, Radi- 
ance, Sunburst, Frau Karl, Drusch- 
ki. La-Tosca you sent me as an 
extra witli my very first order, 
some five or six years ago. Its 
long - stemmed, beautiful silvery- 
pink blooms, so generously borne, 
are the pride and delight of the 
whole neighborhood. So I am 
hoping great things from my new 
“extra.” 
I have been persuaded by vari- 
ous friends to try other stocks, but 
have come back to my first love, 
the Fairfax roses, convinced that 
they are the very best to be had. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. P. A., Washington, D. C. 
Grand Duke Alexis
