SEEDLING POMEGRANATE 

 FRUITS 



This picture shows the characteristic 

 shades and color of the pomegranate, 

 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 another 

 growing, it is alleged, to the size of 

 the ordinary human head. This report 

 may be taken with a certain allowance, 

 but it suggests possibilities of develop- 

 ment 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 hith- 

 erto been given it by horticulturists.
