They are also rather more tender than the fruit-bearing ones. 

 The finest are the DOUBLE RED Pomegranate, with large and 

 very splendid scarlet blossoms, and the DOUBLE WHITE Pome- 

 granate, with flowers nearly white. There are also the rarer 

 varieties, the YELLOW-FLOWERED and the VARIEGATED FLOWER- 

 ED Pomegranate seldom seen here except in choice green-house 

 collections.
