It is not an exaggeration 
to say that Cowee’s Gla- 
dioli have thousands of

My blooming fields liter- 
ally out-shine the rainbow, 
but among all the wonder- 
ful sorts none surpass 
these 
Three New Gladioli 
War. Deep blood-red, shad- 
ing to crimson-black. Flowers 
on long spikes. 
Peace. The finest white.

new Gladiolus.

Gladioli of a Thousand Shades 
Don’t Expect the 
Impossible 
Roses that have been propaga- 
ted in hot, moist greenhouses will 
naturally be full of sap and much 
too delicate to do well out-of- 
doors until they have had time to 
accustom themselves to changed 
conditions. You cannot expect 
to have immediate success with 
plants that are thus lacking in 
vitality and you are lucky if they 
withstand the first frost. But 
you can expect to have immediate 
success with 
Fairfax Roses 
because they are grown slowly 
under natural conditions and 
wintered out of doors. They are 
thoroughly hardy, acclimated to 
snow and frost, and have tough 
canes and vigorous roots. They 
will thrive anywhere and bloom 
freely the first season. Planted 
this spring they will make a lovely 
rose garden for you this summer 
which will be a constant delight for 
many years to come. 
Let me send you my 1917 Rose Book— Free 
It not only describes the 1 50 different kinds 
of hardy Fairfax Roses, illustrated with photo- 
graphic reproductions, hut it gives you care- 
ful instructions on growing roses so as to have 
'the greatest success with them.
