RED, WHITE AND BLUE ROSE
Californian Is Already Two-Thirds
Successful in His Patriotic Ex-
pertinent With Tree.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Having a rose
bush which produces a red and white
flower, Park Superintendent Long of
Long Branch thinks he can make it
add a blue shade also, and thus he
will have national flower.
Last year a bush in Pacific park
bore snow-white roses. This season
the flowers are beautifully tinged
with red Long attributes this fact to
the proximity of red rose bush and
says that by next year, when the
roots of the bushes mingle. the red
stripe will be even more pronounced.
He is now planning to force the red
and white bush to take on the shade
of blue.

Up in Dakota and Minnesota some

carry sap late in the fall produce the
