FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
XT . -p i This is a most brilliant crimson scarlet rose, with darker shadings 
xlOOSlCr iSeaUiy . outer petals to almost black, and a texture like velvet. The 
bud is of good length and opens into a magnificent bloom that is fairly dazzling, it is an unusu- 
ally free and continuous bloomer, a very strong grower and sends out stiff shoots with a bud 
on every one and stems two to three feet long. This rose, with perhaps the exception of Mrs. 
Russell and Sunburst, attracts more attention from visitors than any other we have, and is 
easily the most brilliant of the scarlet crimson roses, a splendid garden variety. Pnce, 1-year 
plants, 25 cts. each; 2-year plants, 75 cts. each; 3-year plants, $1 each. , , , ,, 
All our rose plants are shipped with soil on the roots and are much more valuable than it 
shipped with the roots bare; they are in condition to live and start at once to grow. 
Our plants, too, are on their own roots and will not worry you by throwing up shoots of wild 
growth from the roots as budded plants invariably do; these wild shoots always take the strength 
from the improved bud and your plant is soon worthless.
