POMEGRANATES 
The Pomegranates are very hardy shrubs, 
the coastal sections of Georgia and the Carolinas. 
fusion, and an al)undancc of fruit usually follows, 
and acid drinks. For this latter purpose they are 
highly esteemed. The fruit has a fresh crisimess, 
and a delicate, sprightly flavor found in few fruits. 
As a commercial fruit, the Pomegranate is stead¬ 
ily gaining in favor. 
They are valuable as ornamentals, d'he new 
shoots and leaves in early spring vary in color 
from light green to delicate ])ink and maroon. 
The showy llowers follow in early summer, and 
the fruit makes the shrubs attractive in autumn. 
They arc adapted for planting singly or in groups 
and when well cared for the Pomegranates make 
good deciduous shade.

MULBERRIES 
The Mulberry is well adapted generally to Southern conditions, and no fruit tree is more valuable 
on the farm. Its wide-spreading branches afford splendid shade throughout summer, and it is with¬ 
out question the best shade tree for poultry-yards and hog-pastures.' The fruit is readily eaten by 
poultry and pigs, and as some varieties continue in fruit for several weeks, or even months, it is no 
mean source of food-supply. Besides this, it is valuable for tolling birds away from other fruits, and 
no bird lover should omit this tree from his plantings. Some varieties, Stubbs in particular, arc valu¬ 
able for home use. The fruit of this variety is acid enough to give it decided tone and to make it of 
value as a kitchen fruit for the making of jellies, jams and similar products. Under existing conditions 
increased plantings of Mulberries are worth considering. Their rapid growth soon brings them to 
bearing size.
