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- 
fllled its promise of being the most valuable Rose, for the 
garden, in the hardy ever-blooming class, yet 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.

eventually take front rank. The fra¬
