Even small city lots provide enough garden space in the vast majority 
of cases to permit of soil being taken from a bed of annuals, etc., for tempo- 
rary use in the rose garden. Always discard the top layer of trash by skim- 
ming it off with a shovel, and HILL YOUR BUSHES WITH THIS CLEAN 
SOIL. Do not hill with soil contaminated by old rose material. 
Uncover your bushes gradually in spring, exposing only a portion of the 
canes at one time, so the new growth can harden gradually. 
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 color- 
ful 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 glo 1 ae green foliage. It has the fragrance of 
ripe blackberries ROE ati that of honey. I'have improved the plant 
of this variety so much that its originator would scarcely believe it.

CECILE WALTER —This splendid rose grows and develops its bloom 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, over- 
cast with gold, much the colors that made Log Angeles so beloved in spite 
of its terrible blackspotting. Cecile Walter, on the cotfrdary: jj Bees 
mously resistant to blackspot. After going out in the ga¥ 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 cli 
mate, with absolutely stable color in sun or shade. It is an unbelievably hea- 
vy bloomer, is sweetly fragant, 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 enor- 
mous amount of vigor into this variety. Many who have this variety have 
never been greatly enthused simply because they did not have the Hen- 
nessey 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............-.....--.-..------0--- $1.50
