HIS fine, new Hardy Ever-blooming Rose we show on the 
colored plate. (See page 141, No. 11 on the Plate ) The 
color is unique, a very soft, intense carmine-crimson, with 
deeper shades in the depths of the petals, in color 
very like “American Beauty.” The profusion 
of bloom is truly marvelous, every shoot 
producing a flower. It is a grand acqui¬ 
sition to our red Roses, and is equally 
valuable for winter forcing or for sum-
