mind, the most agreeable footgear, because 
an open shoe that is wet is less unpleasant 
than a wet shoe that has no openings, and 
wet one’s shoes are bound to become if 
any gardening is done at that time of day 
which is the most ideal for such work — 
the early morning before the dew is off. 
These open sandals dry out quickly, and 
with two pairs one is always drv-equipped 
at the beginning of the work, anyway. Of 
course, this is a matter of personal choice 
and some may not mind wearing rubbers.

though they may keep the feet dry. Gaiters 
of khaki I sometimes add in cool weather 
or when the iniquitous mosquito is very 
much in evidence, and always gauntlet

My Fairfax Roses 
Are Grown Slowly 
Sappy growth, secured by forcing Rose 
plants under glass, lacks the vitality neces¬ 
sary to enable it to produce 
good flowers out-of-doors. 
I grow “Fairfax” plants 
slowly, in nature’s way, so 
they form vigorous wood 
and, sturdy roots. 
Then, to establish their 
hardiness, I winter them 
out-of-doors. A Rose from 
the outside, that has had 
five months of rest, is 
bound to give you^better 
results than one ft taken 
right from a greenhouse 
bench. 
My Free Book “Fairfax Roses’’ Shows 
You the Way to Success 
With Fairfax Roses, and the directions, 
“How to Grow Roses,” contained in my 1914 
book, you can have blooms better than you 
ever imagined possible. My book describes 
the 150 kinds of Roses that thrive out of 
doors, gives engravings of these from nature, 
and lists the best of the flowering plants, 
bulbs and shrubs. May I send it? Free.
