Choice Vegetable Seeds 
No vegetables ever come to table at home Uke those gathered fresh from the home gar- 
tlen. The rich sweet flavor and frag“rant aroma comingr with freshly gathered vegetables when 
cooked, sharpens the appetite and gives zest and relish to all the family and their friends. 
Por many years Fairfax Roses have been well and favorably known by rose lovers 
the world over, and I 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 i can 
assure you that the seed I 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 10 days after receipt if not satisfactory, and money will be refunded, but I do not in 
any way warrant the crop as to description, quality or productiveness, as it is dependent 
on so many conditions beyond my control. 
All seed postpaid by mail, except ship- 
ments amounting to 4 pounds or more, which 
will be shipped at purchaser’s expense.
