As You Plan for SummerFlowers 
Remember Fairfax Roses and Dahlias 
You are now probably 
making active plans for 
next summer’s flower gar¬ 
den. My Fairfax Plants 
will enable you to estab¬ 
lish one that will be a last¬ 
ing joy, or to increase one 
that you 
already 
have. 
Fairfax 
Roses 
excel, because my Nurs¬ 
eries are located where 
Roses grow unusually well: 
because I understand rose- 
Dahlia Master Car. grOwing thorOUghly, aild 
have added to this knowl¬ 
edge modern methods of propagating plants, etc. 
My new types of Giant and Cactus Dahlias, and 
my Exhibition Chrysanthemums, bear flowers which 
you will be proud to own. My new Cactus Dahlia 
“Master Carl’’ bears flowers 6 inches across. 
Fairfax Roses 
and My Other 
Plants Excel 
My New Book Write me before you order Roses, 
“Fairfax Roses” Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Cannas 
Is Free to You Bedding Plants of any kind. I 
grow extra fine plants, and can ship 
them anywhere with perfect safety.
