The Blue Rose.

A nurseryman at Painesville. Ohio,
has developed blue rose This has
been a quest of fioriculturists, so the
new rambler is triumph of science.
The green rose and the black rose
are interesting freaks, but they are
not beautiful The blue rose. how
ever. should be lustrous 1t should
have about 1t that velvet glow which
makes the spell of roses In the
minds OF poets and mystics the blue
rose has long shed fragrance over
the garden of dreams 1t was said
that whoever had been aroused by the
wild sweetness OF the perfume of the
blue rose would never rest again until
he had found the far clear heights
on which this rose is blown. 1t was
said that the blue rose cast a spell
over all who touched 1t, and that
life was never again the same. Well,
the blue rose will at last be common
among men, but the dreamer will still
lift his face to the stars.--Los Angeles
