FAIRFAX ROSES— THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
HYBRID PERPETUAL 
Prince Camille de Rohan. Crimson. A j 
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 i 
Rose that has any variegation. It is a vigorous 
grower, and bears large and fragrant flowers of i 
bright rose, distinctly striped with a rich j 
crimson. It is altogether a most unique and t 
pretty variety. 
Anne de Dicsbach (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, 1.S cts. ; 3-inch pots, 25 I 
cts. ; 2-year plants, 40 cts. 1 
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 i 
pink. They are very large, of fine, globular j 
form, and freely produced. A grand addition 
in the style of Baroness, and unquestionably 
the finest of all Roses for flowering in pots and i 
forcing. 
Conrad F. Meyer. Pink. Hybrid Rugosa 
Rose. A most valuable addition to the list of j 
hardy, free-blooming Roses. It surpasses all 
others of the type in fullness of flowers. The j 
color is beautiful, a pure silvery pink. It is j 
of ironclad hardiness. Its beautiful foliage ! 
alone would recommend it as an ornamental 1 
shrub for the garden. For a flowering hedge 
it should eventually take front rank. The 
fragrance of the flowers is spicy and delightful.

heavy 2-year plants, 40 cts.; extra-heavy
