THE ROSE OF JERICHO.
1t Is the Original of All the Resurrec.
ton Plants.


Several varieties of the so called
resurrection plant have appeared
among he novelties offered by florists,
but the original Is the rose of Jericho.
Along the shores of the Dead sea, far
enough away to be out of reach of the
death dealing vapOrs and the salt
spray, grows this rose, a little plant
famed in many a legendary story,
which, when ripened, rolls up its sprays
and. branches into a curious little brown
ball.
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
a fe~atherweight. After it chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought a mira
Gle, for the once dead Is alive again.

The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land, told wonderful tales of it's
power to bloom out on Christmas day
and gave 1t the name of resurrection
flower. Another old legend names it

these dry balls 1t Is simply necessary

process.
