Fruit From A Rose.

Berkeley, Cal. Especially Hugo
Lilenthal, local horticulturist,

BILE fruit from the climbing rose.
He declares that this fruit will, in
course of time, take the place of
the loganberry. to which it is allied.
Lilenthal succeeded in obtaining the
fruit by cross grating. The fruit,
which, he says, is quite nutritious
and has a flavor like a pineapple,
may be eaten either raw or cooked.
