WATERING YOUR ROSES 
All modern Hybrid Tea roses are everblooming, that is, capable of producing bloom 
from early spring to frost under good cultural conditions. An abundance of WATER is 
by far the most important factor assuring constant bloom. Flooding the beds is one of 
the finest methods of watering, next only to tile watering from underneath, and is 
simplicity itself if you have had the forethought to have the level of the rose beds a 
couple of inches below surroundings. If it is absolutely necessary to water by sprinkling, 
work out a watering schedule that will not allow your foliage to remain wet for more 
than five hours, taking night dew into consideration. 
PRICES IN THIS CATALOGUE are subject to change without notice, and all orders 
are accepted subject to prior sale. I DO NOT KNOW exactly how many plants of 
each variety I have until after roses are harvested. 
All patented roses offered in this catalog are with the consent and permission of the 
patent owners, even though I grow them. 
ANGELS MATEU, Pat. 174—A big colorful orange coral rose which has the most 
perfect color stability of any rose of this color to date. These big fully double lovely 
blooms are produced incssantly. Has very glossy bright green foliage.. It has the 
fragrance of ripe blackberries mingled with that of honey. I have improved the plant 
of this variety so much that its originator would scarcely believe it. 
$1.50 each; $15.00 doz. No further discount. 
CHRISTOPHER STONE—Nearly the perfect rose. Rich unfading scarlet crimson, with 
pointed bud of great beauty, and big delicately waved petals on the gorgeous blooms. 
It grows and opens its buds perfectly in any climate, with absolutely stable color in 
sun or shade. It is an unbelievably heavy bloomer, is sweetly fragrant, and is low 
enough in growth to make the finest kind of bedding or border rose. A border of 
Christopher Stone is a sight not easily forgotten. It is noted among its other virtues 
for keeping the fresh brilliance of its velvet petals until they drop. I have put an 
enormous amount of vigor into this variety. Many who have this variety have never 
been greatly enthused simply because they did not have Hennessey plants. On my 
plants it is a wonderful and different variety. In a bed in front of my house I have

CRIMSON GLORY, Pat. 105—A rose worthy of its lovely name, with a pointed bud 
opening to a big, fully double, high centered rich crimson bloom of pure velvet; it 
might have posed for all the pictures of the ideal rose down through the ages. Power- 
fully fragrant with richest damask perfume. Very heavy blooming and healthy, on a 
vigorous but low compact plant perfect for bedding. :

ETOILE D’HOLLANDE—The Standard by which all new roses are judged, it is the 
oldest of the big three—Crimson Glory and Christopher Stone—which for the major 
section of the country are by far the best crimson roses. For most of the United States 
it is far superior to the new “Hearts Desire,’ which is a conditional rose—that is, 
superb under some conditions and mediocre under others—or ““Mirandy,” which 
under many conditions turns an ugly purple. The plant of Etoile d’Hollande as well 
as the bloom will stand much more heat and still look well than the latter varieties; 
in fact, for Pacific Northwest conditions the two others of the “big three’ are best. 
Each $1.50 
GIRONA—A uniquely lovely rose, possibly the most fragrant rose in existence under 
widely varied conditions, breathing forth richest damask perfume. The always pointed 
buds are crimson and gold, unfolding with a butterfly effect into a lovely blossom with 
waved petals, of rich yellow tipped with rose. As the blossom ages the rose color first 
recedes, then extends over the petals, deepening day by day until they drop, seemingly 
as fresh as when the bud unfolded. The petals have a crystalline texture that adds to 
its beauty. Fully opened blossoms of Girona may be floated in bowls and kept for
