market purposes. Ripens September.

highly recommended for drying. Fruit ripens middle of September.

POMEGRANATES 
Pomegranates are grown as shrubs and trees—the first form being the one 
principally used, as the tree will bear light crops of fruit if pruned too heavily. 
The beauty of the tree with its brilliant, scarlet flowers and showy yellow 
and red fruits has caused it to be planted in gardens and lawns, as well as 
used for hedge purposes or planted in orchard form. 
The trees do best where planted in rich, moist soils and they also thrive well 
on soils that are strongly impregnated with alkali. When planted in orchard 
form they should be set fifteen feet apart. 
The fruit can be used for making jellies and acid drinks as well as eaten 
fresh, and on account of their keeping qualities and showy colors they are 
often used for table and sideboard decorations.
