  " 
  Manao 
  shihliu, 
  Carnelian 
  pomegranate. 
  The 
  fruit 
  is 
  long 
  instead 
  

   of 
  round, 
  and 
  the 
  end 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  twig 
  is 
  pointed. 
  Kernels 
  are 
  large 
  and 
  

   the 
  flavor 
  good."

  Jade 
  seed 
  pomegranate. 
  White 
  kernels, 
  

   'like 
  rock 
  candy,' 
  my 
  friend 
  says. 
  The 
  flavor 
  is 
  good 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  cloy. 
  

   The 
  most 
  valued 
  variety 
  we 
  have."

  "Pehrhwa 
  shihliu, 
  white-flowered 
  pomegranate. 
  So 
  called 
  from 
  the 
  

   color 
  of 
  the 
  blossom. 
  The 
  leaves 
  are 
  not 
  red 
  when 
  first 
  opened 
  as 
  are 
  other 
  

   varieties; 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  not 
  ruddy 
  like 
  others 
  and 
  the 
  kernels 
  are 
  white; 
  the 
  

   fruit 
  is 
  large, 
  but 
  rots 
  easily 
  and 
  drops 
  from 
  the 
  tree, 
  so 
  the 
  yield 
  is 
  small. 
  

   It 
  is 
  of 
  good 
  flavor.
