The first rose that was discovered, this year, was on branch from which the apple blossoms had just fallen. It was 8 beautiful double white rose and. when fully opened, measured two and one half inches across. The stem-a regular rose stem-was twice as long as the stems of the apple blossoms that were in the same cluster. This week another rose has been found on a branch containing green apples. One year there were five rose blossoms on a single branch of this apple tree. Did the bees oross-fertilizs? Will some botanist please explain?

It may be easier to dispose of one's home than 1t is to get another as desirable, and life in a hired oity or village tenement is not to be compared to the comforts of one's own country home, be 1t ever so humble.
