Mr. Roy Hennessey, 
Hennessey’s Rose Garden, 
Route 5, 
Hillsboro, Oregon. 
My Dear Mr. Hennessey: 
It gave me a great deal of satisfaction to 
see the excellent roses you are producing when 
I visited your garden last June. I wish to con¬ 
gratulate you on the excellence of the plants, 
and of the evidence shown by them of the 
painstaking study and care and careful se¬ 
lection of under stock and bud in their pro¬ 
duction. They were as fine as I have ever 
seen. 
Sincerely yours, 
DR. T. ALLEN KIRK, 
Pres. American Rose Society.
