Some Stems oj the Blackberry' s Cousin 



The direct color photograph print above shows some 



typical rose stems — varying in color, shape and thorniness. 



The rose, and the blackberry, and the apple, and sixty-two other plants, 



dissimilar in appearance, are all members of the same family, 



and often give evidence oj the possession of common 



family traits. In his work with the rose, described 



later, Mr. Burbank made use of similar 



methods to those employed in the 



production of the white 



blackberry.
