The Blue Flag 



A prominent horticulturist has said that Mr. Burbank 

 cannot keep his hands off any plant that comes under his ob- 

 tervation. His everv instinct calls out to him to test the plant and 

 see what can be done to better It. This blue flag is an illustra- 

 tion of a flower that is being thus tested, probably with- 

 out any very specific object. Not even Mr. Burbank 

 can tell what unexpected variations may 

 show themselves, offering material for 

 ittteresting developments.
