Fairfax Seed Will Help Feed the World 
They Shall Not Fail 
I N ADDITION to this seed catalog I issue a catalog of Roses, Shrubs, and 
other plants, entitled “FAIRFAX ROSES.” If you have not received 
one and need anything in this line, drop a card and 1 will send you one. 
For many years Fairfax Roses have been well and favorably known 
by rose lovers the world over, and 1 have satisfied customers in every State, 
in every Province of Canada, in every Republic from Mexico to Brazil, in 
Hawaii, China, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and most 
of the European countries. 
A business so well established as this cannot afford to send out poor 
seed, and 1 can assure you that the seed 1 send out is as good as any you 
can buy from any source. 
It is understood and agreed that any seed ordered of me may be 
returned at any time within 1 0 days after receipt if not satisfactory, and 
money will be refunded, but 1 do not in any way warrant the crop as to 
description, quality or productiveness, as it is dependent on so many condi- 
tions beyond my control. 
The Value of Seed depends first on its power of germination — that, of 
course, is necessary, but much seed of good germination is still poor seed. 
Take, for instance. Tomato Seed — it is a fact that many hundred pounds 
are saved every year at canning factories from what would otherwise be 
waste material. Of course the small fruits and cripples are included, and the 
first cost of the seed is very small. 
Would you not rather have seed saved from the largest and best fruits 
at perhaps slightly increased cost. 
All the seed 1 supply is grown by experts who select the best, and each 
item is grown in the section where it comes to its best perfection — much of 
it in California and other favored sections. 
1 guarantee the safe arrival of goods sent my mail or express. If any 
shipment is lost or damaged in transit 1 will replace it, but 1 do not hold myself 
responsible for failure after delivery of the goods to you in good condition. 
Remittances should be made by post-office money order or bank draft; 
checks will also be received. Cash with order. Please send money with the 
order sufficient to cover the whole bill. 
1 offer most varieties of seed in 5 and 1 0-cent packages. Of fcourse, the 
amount of seed in a package must be determined by the value of the seed per 
pound. As seed are now scarce, and higher even than last year, a 5 -cent 
package will be small, and 1 would suggest that you buy 1 0-cent packages 
whenever possible. 
Now that the war is over, some may think that “war gardens” are not 
necessary, but the seedsman knows that the market gardener is buying only 
about one-half of his usual quantity of seed. His reason for this is that he 
cannot get labor to grow the crop, and this makes it imperative for every 
individual who can do so to grow his own supply or perhaps go without.
