A Mystery of Nature.

The worldwide fame and distinction of the sweetbrier rose are due to its fragrant foliage. The leaves have rus set glands on their underSides, which secrete aromatic oil; hence the dell cious perfume of the foliage. No other rose in the world has sweet scented foliage. The perfume of all other roses is in the petals In the leaves There are many types Of hrier roses with small pink blossoms and other charac. teristics exactly like the true sweet brier. but not one with aromatic tot age. This Is one of the unexplained mysteries of nature.-Suburban Life.
