Fairfax Roses — The Aristocrats of Rosedom 
Rial 
RAMBLER ROSES 
While these do not bloom continuously, they are covered during their blooming season 
with a wealth of flowers of various shades. The sight of a large Rambler Rose m full 
bloom is one long to be remembered— a wealth of color shown by no other class of plant. 
Climbing American Beauty. A strong, 
vigorous climber, but may be kept pruned 
back to a large-size bush Rose. The blooms 
are the same size, color and fragrance as 
the old variety, and when in bloom it is a 
perfect mass of color. Brice, 1-year plants, 
SO cts. each ($'5.00 dozen) ; 2-ycar plants, 
$1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 3-year plants, 
$1.10 each ($12.00 per dozen). 
Philadelphia Crimson Rambler. This 
splendid variety is a very profuse bloorner 
and a good, healthy grower, producing 
splendid clusters of perfectly double and 
intensely brilliant flowers. Price, 1-year 
plants, 50 cts. each ($5.00 per dozen) ; 2-year 
plants, $1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 3-year 
plants, $1.10 each ($12.00 per dozen). 
Tausendschon. Truly called “Thousand 
Beauties.” One of the really reliable novel- 
ties. It bears its flowers in immense clus- 
ters ; in color a soft pink when first opening, 
changing to a carmine-rose on the reverse 
as they expand. Price, 1-year plants, 50 cts. 
each ($'5.00 per dozen) ; 2-year plants, $1.00 
each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 3-year plants, $1.10 
each ($12.00 per dozen). 
Dorothy Perkins. The flowers are clear 
shell pinic, with lovely, oddly wrinkled 
petals ; buds pointed, well formed, borne in 
great clusters. A fine climber and a profuse 
bloomer ; flowers very durable and the clus- 
ters are good for cutting. Price, 1-year 
plants, 50 cts. each ($5.00 per dozen) ; 2- 
year plants, $1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen); 
3-year plants, $1.10 each $12.00 per dozen). 
White Dorothy. Exquisitely beautiful. 
Vigorous novelty. This Rose has all the 
merits of the famous pink Dorothy Perkins, 
of which it is an offspring. The flowers are 
remarkably pure white. Price, 1-year plants, 
50 cts. each ($5.00 pe.r dozen) ; 2-year plants, 
$1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 3-year plants, 
$1.10 each ($12.00 per dozen). 
Red Dorothy Perkins. This is identical 
with Pink and White Dorothy Perkins in 
growth and blooming qualities. The color is 
a brilliant crimson, making it one of the 
most showy Roses grown. Price, 1-year 
plants, SO cts. each ($5.00 per dozen); 2- 
year plants, $1.00 each ($10.00 per dozen) ; 
3-year plants, $1.10 each ($12.00 per dozen). 
PEONIES 
The wonderfully improved Peonies introduced in recent years are truly the “Queen of 
Spring Flowers,” and are well adapted for massing in beds and particularly valuable for 
planting in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant 
hues add attraction to all around. Their requirements are so simple— a good, rich, deep 
soil and an open, sunny position ; which, however, is not absolutely necessary, as they 
thri’ve almost equally as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of water 
during their growing season being sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flowers, 
which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fragrance, and produce during their flowering 
season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, re- 
quiring no protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, and once planted increase 
in beauty each year. , rr , ^ i 4. 
An important point to observe in the planting of Herbaceous Peonies is not to plant 
too deep. The roots should be placed so that the crowns are covered with two inches 
^Peonies may be planted in the fall at any time after the middle of September with 
good success, they may also be planted early in the spring, but not after the first of May. 
Rosea Superba. Brilliant deep cerise pink, blooms compact and perfectly formed; 
healthy growth, long stems; keeps. 
Louis Van Houette (Delachei). Fine, dark crimson; very double. 
Queen Victoria (Whitleyii). Pure white; the standard market variety for storage. 
Price : 50 cents each ; $5.00 per dozen.
