THE OAR DEN I NO WORLD. 
June 20, 1903. 
onwards until the end of August you could take cuttings and 
insert them in a bed of sand made up in a greenhouse or pit, 
from which you can exclude direct sunshine by shade. All that 
is necessary is to take the cuttings off at a joint and dibble them 
into the sand, which is just kept moist. A good watering with 
the rose should be given immediately the cuttings are inserted 
to settle the sand about them, but after that you should be very 
sparing in the matter of water, especially in damp weather, 
otherwise the cuttings will be apt to damp off in an unheated 
house. Should the weather be fairly warm a cool house is the 
best place for them, and with careful management you should be 
able to raise any number of plants.

An Old Pomegranate Tree. —In the orangery of Versailles 
is the oldest Pomegranate tree in France. It dates, in fact, 
back to the establishment of the orangery in 1685, and since 
then, like Goldsmith’s, has never changed nor sought to change 
its place. In winter it is kept snug in the orangery, always at 
the foot of Desjardin’s superb statue of Louis Quatorze. In the 
summer it is moved to the South Terrace. In exceptionally 
warm and bright seasons the old tree still decorates its branches 
with a few flowers, but no fruit has been seen upon it for a long 
time.
