Group of 
Pomegranate 
Fruits 
The picture shows 
the characteristic shades 
and color of the pome- 
granate, and suggests the 
wide variation in size of 
the different fruits. It is 
said that there are several 
varieties grown in Bengal, 
one being seedless, and an- 
other growing, it is alleged, 
to the size of the ordinary 
human head. This report 
may be taken with a cer- 
tain allowance, but it sug- 
gests possibilities of de- 
velopment of the fruit 
through selective breeding 
that have as yet not been 
realized in this country. 
The fruit is worthy of 
more attention than has 
hitherto been given it 
by horticulturists.
