Henderson^s Nursery Makes Clean Sweep In Annual 
Rose Show; Wins Sweepstakes Over All Growers 
■«> 
The world’s choicest dependable Roses, correctly 
grown and prepared for shipment to you, by a 
firm with 38 years of rose specialization. For 
years our Roses have given satisfaction to our 
many customers \yho value the fact that we are 
content to grow and send out only the strongest, 
sturdiest, field grown rose bushes that it is pos¬ 
sible to produce by modem methods. We like 
Roses and derive a great deal of pleasure from 
growing them, and send out to customers only 
bushes that will give them the same pleasure 
and satisfaction. 
All of our Roses are budded on Rosa Multi¬ 
flora Japonica and Rosa Canina understock, ex¬ 
cept a few of the climbers. The multiflora under¬ 
stock makes the more fiberous root system, being 
fine in appearance and easy to pack and handle. 
In light sweet soils where moisture is plentifully 
supplied with good drainage, multiflora cannot 
be improved upon. The Canina understock is 
the most tenacious understock yet developed; 
having stiff strong roots which thrive under 
somewhat adverse conditions. For black waxy 
soils it cannot be excelled. Where drouthy con¬ 
ditions or excessive moisture prevails or in soils 
overbalanced with some mineral content, the 
“Roses from Henderson’s Nur- 
s e r y captured twenty-one first 
places, twelve second places, and 
seven third places to make almost 
a clean sweep of prizes and win 
the sweepstakes cup at the Tyler 
Rose Show. Competing with the 
world famed rose growers of Smith 
County, the local nursery swept 
through nearly every division and 
variety. 
“The local nursery placed second 
last year and came back this year 
with an exhibit that swept all other 
entries aside. Roses from Hender¬ 
son’s Nursery are shipped to all 
parts of the United States and the 
sweeping victory should cause a 
heavy demand for their rose stock. 
“We congratulate Mr. Hender¬ 
son and his co-workers on their 
splendid showing and feel certain 
that ere long rose fanciers of the 
world will feel that their garden 
is not complete without some of 
the champion Henderson County 
bushes.’’

and East. Do not confuse our high quality plants

with small or second grade plants sold by deal¬ 
ers who sell them as “just rose bushes,” with a price attraction, but no quality guaran¬ 
tee. Our first grade plants are brought to you at the lowest possible price for dependable 
merchandise by a firm that is here to serve its customers through the years. Remember 
that roses vary in growth characteristics, some growing more dwarf with smaller canes 
than others. 
We are offering this year, along with our No. 1 first grade plants which are the best 
to be had, medium grade plants which are good stock plants for the rose lovers who 
feel they cannot afford to pay more for the first grade plants, but want a lovely rose 
garden. We earnestly recommend the first grade plants as the better value.
