PU'NICA. Pomegranate. (From puni-

 Nat. ord. Myrthblooms [Myrtacsse]. Linn.,

Deciduous trees, all blooming in August. Cut- 

 tings of the shoots and roots ; layers and grafting ; 

 any light, rich soil. It flourishes against a wall, 

 but in such places the twigs must be encouraged 

 to grow, or there will be few flowers. The double 

 kinds grafted on the single, and grown in rich 

 loam, become nice flowering plants, as the plants 

 do not prow so vigorously as on their own roots, 

 but flower much longer. Na'na requires the stove.
