The Rose af Sharon Not . nose.

The anemone coronaria commonly
grows wild about Smyrna and in Asia
Minor, spreading far and wide as the
most beautiful Of spring blossoms. grow
ing on chalk soil along the edges OF
shrubbery. We cannot wonder that it
was already in ancient times a favorite
of the inhabitants and excited in poetic
minds sensations such as can only be ex-
cited by surprising beauty. ~ am the
rose Of Sharon and the lily of the val
leys," sings the first verse of the second
chapter Of Solomon's song. and there can
be no doubt today what is here meant by
the rose of Sharon.
1t was an American, Fiske y. Brewer,
who decided this question, Narcissus
Tazetta, which likewise grows in Pales-
tine, having previously been considered
the Biblical flower. This gentleman, az
cording to the Edinburgh Review Of
1886, while travelling in the year 1859
from Jaffa to Ranleh, came upon place
where considerable expanse of ground
was half covered with brilliant red
flowers. At the sight Of them some Of
his native companions Immediately ex-
claimed, ''Roses of Sharon" and when
he inquired about the name he was told
that the anemone was there universally
30 called.
In truth it would not be easy other
wise to speak of rose in Palestine. for
native roses do not. exist there-at least
not where they would justify tho associ-
alton Of tho plain of Sharon with their
name. Wild roses are found in Pales-
tine only on Lebanon, or where, here
and there, r. centifolia Is cultivated for
the production Of altar, as in the Wadi-
el-Werd Rose-valley), near Hebron.
According to Ebers and Guthe, in their
PALESTINE" the TRANSACTIONS Of the
Bible often use the word rose where
there is no warrant for understanding
by it true rose. The roses Of Persia
and Media were not introduced into
Palestine before the Grecian period
