Passion Flower in Bloom 



The passion flower has great popular interest because of 

 the curious configuration of its essential parts, and the sym- 

 bolical meaning associated with them in the minds of the supersti- 

 tious. In Mr. Burbank's garden, however, the passion flower is 

 cultivated not so much for its blossom as for its fruit. 

 Varieties are being developed that give good promise 

 of producing a fruit of marketable quality.
