"The rose Is beyond question the pref.

considered by the Turks many years
before the conquest OF Granada. There
is n religious legend generally believed
In throughout Turkey that the red rose
sprang from a drop of the great proph-
ct Mohammcd's blood. Everything
beautiful in nature Is ascribed to him.
The Turks. therefore, have great rev
ercnce for the flower and allow it to
bloom and die untouched, except on
state occasions and for the purpose OF
making rosewater.
After the conquest by the Turks
they would not worship in any church
until the wa Is were cleansed and wash
ed with ros, water and thus purified by
the blood Of the prophet. II is used on
the body for the same purpose. TURK
whose conscience is stung by some act
or deed he has committed will caress
and pay reverence to the rose to ap-
pease the wrath Of the prophet aud
Allah.
