POMEGRANATE BLOSSOM. 
This branch of the Pomegranate, in blos- 
H om, was drawn from nature by the ingenious 
Ldwards ; and is copied, by us, from the ceie- 
)rated Gleanings of that esteemed naturahst. 
The Pomegranate, from which this branch 
;vas taken, grew against the wall, in a garden 
lear London. 
A full account of the Pomegranate will be 
found to accompany our figure of that fruit ; 
which, with other similar objedls, will com- 
prehend an essential part of our design. For 
the present, it may be sufficient to transcribe 
Prom Edwards, who may always be relied on, 
that the annexed figure, though somewhat 
reduced, " is stri6lly drawn from nature; 
whih in blossom, and setting for fruit. 
" The flower-buds are red before they 
blow ; when they open, they disclose eight 
'leaves of a fine scarlet colour. The stems in 
I the middle of the flowers are yellow.
