Accompanying the description on this page we show an 

 engraving illustrating the growth and blooming qualities 

 of this wonderful Rose. The Hybrid Tea Roses are gradually 

 being developed so that they withstand our severe winters 

 yet flower abundantly throughout the summer season. 



Of all the Roses which we have introduced for years there 

 is none which has measured up better to the ideal standard 

 than this. Habit and bloom are beyond criticism. ''Car- 

 dinal " is a seedling of " Liberty " hybridized with an unnamed 

 carmine seedling in the third generation. It has amply ful- 

 filled its promise of being the most valuable Rose, for the 

 garden, in the hardy ever-blooming class, j T et raised by Mr. 

 John Cook. Color, a rich cardinal-red. Is a very strong 

 grower with a heavy flower. Its fragrance is very strong and 

 sweet. The color of the flowers holds good in the hottest 

 weather ; the form is such that they remain perfect during the 

 heated term; the health and vigor of the plant enable it to 

 produce flowers constantly during the entire season.
