reading books OF travel, roso to sublime
height of moral courage and confessed he

The noiso attracted so little attention
among the people around them that they

THE RESURRECTION FLOWER.
4 Strange Plant Made Famous by Song
md Story.

hHu SSOENs
Several varieties of the so called rcsur-
rcction plant have recently appeared
among tho novelties offered by florists, but
tho original IS the rose of Jericho. Along
the shores of the Dead sea, far enough
away to be out of the reach of tho death
dealing vapors and the salt spray, grows
this rose, little plant famed in many u
legendary story, which, when ripencd
rolls up its sprays and branches into q
curious little brown ball.
Tho desert winds snap off its dry stem
and whirl the seemingly dead little ball
away over sandy plains like feather
weight. After it chances to reach some
damp place, in about ten days, the mois-
ture has wrought Il miracle, for the once
dead is nlivo again, green and growing.
The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the Holy
Land, told wonderful tales of its power to
bloom out on Christmas day and gave it
the nanc OF resurrection flower. Another
old legend names it st. Mnry's rose, be-
cause it is said that when Joseph and
Mary were fleeing from Egypt one of
these flowers grew from every spot where
they halted to rest.
The dry ball, when unfolding, drops
its seed, and from these it may bc cult
waited MS an annunl 10 resurrcct these
ury Da!l5 IL Is simply necessary to keep
thom standing in glasses of water, i'm
mersed about half way to tho top of their
branches The expansion is merely u
mechanical, spongclibo process.
The botanical nnmo of tho rose of Jcri.
cho is nnastatica, from annstasis, rcsurrec-
ton There arc other species of rcsurrec-
tion plants, but they are not so attractive
rs their Dead sen relative, which, although
it has very little beauty, hns an honored
place among flowers because of the many
fnncics ard associations it calls UP ard
its peculiar development. = Philadelphia
