PU'NICA. Pomegranate. (From pu- 

 niceus, scarlet; the colour of the flowers. 

 Nat. ord., MyrtleUooms [Myrtaceee]. 

 Linn., 12-Icosandria \-Monogynia.} 



Deciduous trees, all blooming in August. 

 Cuttings 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 grow so 

 vigorous as on their own roots, but flower much 

 longer. Nana requires the stove.
