ssts have answered this by declaring
khey were there solely for the protec

Rose bush stalks, rs II Is known.
Are extremely tender and watery,
merely bending or breaking easily,

puch bushes would socn kill them,
ana once broken or bent over he

with these thorns on their stalk all
animals soon learn to keep away from
such bushes. but II they 10 through
knem they do II very carefully.
While this answer OF tho natural.
ssts. as to why thero are thorns on
rose bushes, was quite satisfactory, Il
maj been discovered that there are
Other reasons for the dangerous prick.
srs. Chief among these other reasons
u That the top Of tho thorn. which
always grows very smooth and slight.
" hattened, is used as a rest for the
branches OF the same bush as they

heaVy rains. heavy dews and
branches full OF roses in full bloom

stated, viii not affect the treatment any

A description of the wound given by
Dr.. W. B. McCauley is the first to be
