ROSES UNIVERSALLY GOOD 
ANGELS MATEU, Pat. 174—A translation of this name would be Angels Mantle, and 
really there is no rose holding this color as well. 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 incessantly. 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.

BETTY UPRICHARD—A striking two-toned rose with backs of petals coppery car- 
mine, inside a soft salmon pink, this vigorous plant is one of the finest garden 
varieties for cooler gardens although it will do well anywhere with lots of long 
pointed buds. This variety never sulks in the heat.........-..-----------cesesceeeseeeeeeeeeeeees $1.50 
CECIL BRUNNER—The old and well known Sweetheart rose with very small but 
perfect buds that are very fragrant, A delicate soft pink. This should never be 
planted in a rose bed but in a perennial border or where it can be allowed to grow 
without any pruning except dead wood removal as by so doing it makes a lot of 
those tiny buds.on single stems. Bush or climbet..........2...--..--sesseseceeeceeseeseeeeecenneeeees $1.50 
CECILE WALTER—This splendid rose grows and develops its bloom colors in full hot 
sun, a blessing for hot gardens. It has a remarkably long bud, opening to an informal 
blossom of soft coral pink, flushed copper, overcast with gold, much the colors that 
made Los Angeles so beloved in spite of its terrible blackspotting. Cecile Walter, on 
the contrary, is enormously resistant to blackspot. After going out in the garden 
and having the huge bloom looking at me from a six-foot plant (that’s the way I 
grow them) I have decided that I want my blooms to bend their neck and look at 
me. I do not care as much for the pancake on the pencil idea.................--+- $1.50 
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 
had many blooms six inches across. Low growing. Around Portland, Oregon, there 
are driveways bordered with several hundred plants in each one which open the eyes 
to the results that can be had with Hennessey Plants of this variety................-....--.-$1.50 
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. 
$1.50 each; $15.00 doz. No further discount. 
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.
