AHY THE ROSE HAS TH0RNS
they Are There for the Protection OF
the Stalks, ls Explanation Of
Their Presence.

Every n has wondered at some
time or other just why there should
De thorns on rose bushes. Natural
bsts have answered this by declaring
they were there solely for the protec
don Of the stalks.
Rose bush stalks, as It ia known
are extremely tender and watery
thereby bending or breaking easily
and animals running wild through
such bushes would soon kill them
and once broken or bent over the
zap eKudes and the branches die. But
with these thorns on their stalk pill
animals soon learn to keep away from
such bushes. but II they 20 through
Them they do It very carefully.
While this answer Of the natural
tsts, as to why there are thorns on
rose bushes. was quite satisfactory. II
has been discovered that there are
other reasons for the dangerous prick.
ers. Chief among these other reasons
Is that the top OF the thorn, which
always grows very smooth and slight.
ly fiattened. is used ms a rest for the
branches OF the same bush as they
tnterlace.
Heavy rains, heavy dews and
branches fun OF roses in full bloom
would naturally bear them down to
the breaking point II they were al
lowed to bend far enough. and they
cannot fall very far before they strike
against the tops OF these thorns, and
are thereby held securely In place. 40
that even a stiff gale OF wind Will not
blow down the rose bush, while II
would tear other ~shrubbery into bits
