 refreshing and reviving for

were not planted in the fall. They not only pro- 

 duce beautiful red flowers from April to July but 

 also delicious fruit which is ready to eat the last 

 of September. Pomegranates can also be grown 

 in the Middle South if given protection in the 

 winter, and further north they can be easily grown 

 in tubs hke the Ponderosa lemon and the rubber 

 plant. A pomegranate requires about the same 

 care, but is hardier than either of them. 



If you intend to graft any trees, do the work 

 towards the last of the month. 



In the southern part of Florida watermelons 

 and muskmelons may be planted after the middle 

 of the month. Be sure the soil is free from the 

 wilt disease, or else plant wilt or blight-resisting 

 varieties.
