The Indians furnished the big sur

CHEROKEE ROSE
 AND ITS NAME
Traced Back to an Old Indian
 Romance

Atlanta, Ga. March 2s 0p,---spring. time, which will begin to break in Dixie before March has flown, is re- garded by flower-lovers as the time of roses.
 Almost all varieties are raised in the open in this latitude and farther south. almost the year around.
 Rose-bushes are to be found in profusion and especially In Georgia, where tho Cherokee rose rules q favorite.
 This flower takes its name from the Cherokee nation of Indians which made the mountains of the northern portion of the state their habitat.
 There is no authentic account of the origin of the rose but a legend. handed down from the Indians, still lives. It involves romance between q Cherokee maiden and a Seminole brave from Florida.
 The younge brave, taken prisoner by the Cherokee, was doomed to die by torture, after which his body vas to be thrown into flames. But before the sentence could be carried Into execution he was stricken by disease,
 A tradition among the Cherokees was that no foe ever had been put to death unless he vas in tho pink of condition. Consequently, the youth vas taken by Cherokee chief to his own hut who set his daughter to nursing.
 AS the Seminole improved, her X feeling for him increased and short ly before the time he was to be put to death, she found she was in love with him. She pleaded with him to escape with her help and make his way home, He reciprocating her love, refused to do this unless she accompany him,
 At midnight they stole away, but when short distance. the Indian girl said she could not go on without some memento of her old home. They returned and she broke a beau tiful rose from bush by the hut of her father.
 Carrying this in her breast to the land farther south, she planted 1t at her new home, It took root and flourished, and its nlilk-white blos- son1s with golden centers recalled her childhood days in the far-away mountains Of Georgia.
 From that time, this flower has been known as the Cherokee rose.
