Olives 
Pomegranates 
Picholine Olives were quite extensively cultivated on 
the coast of Georgia and South Carolina, previous to 
the Civil War, and an excellent quality of oil was 
produced. Some of these plantings are still produc¬ 
ing fruit which is used quite successfully for pickling. 
There is no reason why the industry should not be 
revived. 
A peculiarity of the Olive is that it flourishes and 
bears abundant crops on rock and barren soils, where 
no other fruit trees are successful.

The Pomegranate is hardy in the gulf states and 
central sections of Georgia and the Carolinas. The 
plants will frequently attain a height of upward of 20 
feet. It is of good form and foliage; bright scarlet 
flowers make it a most ornamental plant. It bears 
early and profusely. The demand for the fruit is in¬ 
creasing in eastern markets, and the Pomegranate is 
being grown in some sections on an extensive scale. 
The fruit carries well to distant markets.

Deciduous Shrubs 
It is seldom that a home in the country, suburb or town cannot be improved in appearance and greatly 
enhanced in value bv the judicious treatment of the grounds, irrespective of size; and for this purpose many 
flowering shrubs lend themselves most admirably. Shrubbery, properly panted and massed, is most effective in 
bringing out certain features of the lawn, to screen some unsightly building or object, or to break the outline of 
foundation walls. 
Along the drive, the walk or the edge of the lawn, borders of shrubs may be planted that will give a suc¬ 
cession of bloom from early spring until frost. Even after the leaves have dropped, the brilliant berries and 
branches of many varieties add cheer and color to the winter landscape. Frequently one finds a spot that sug¬ 
gests the use of an individual specimen — in such caso a variety should be selected that will develop symmet¬ 
rically. 
The demand for ornamental shrubs increases annually, and to meet this wo have increased our plantings, 
and our acreage in ornamentals is larger than ever before, and we are in a position to supply many varieties in 
carload lots. In addition to the shrubs that are best adapted to the various sections of the South we grow 
many of the hardier kinds suited to the colder sections of the North and North-West. 
PLANTING AND CULTIVATING SHRUBS. 
The same directions for the preparation of the soil and planting as given for deciduous fruit trees on page 
5 applv to the average deciduous shrub. We cannot, however, too strongly emphasize the necessity of keeping 
the ground free from weeds and grass, and loose by frequent stirring, after being planted. 
Do not fail to properly prune your shrubs as soon as planted. The success of your plants depends upon 
proper pruning. All deciduous shrubs should be pruned annually. The tops and branches should be cut back 
one-third or one-half if necessary; all dead branches and weak growth should be removed, and care must be 
exercised not to cut off the blooming wood. All shrubs that flower on the previous year -s growth i should not 
be pruned until June or Julv. or after the blooming period has passed. To this class belong the Althaeas, Cy- 
donias, Deutzias, Forsythias, Philadelphus, Spiraea, etc., but such varieties as Ceanothus, Hydrangea, Lomcera, 
Lilac, etc., which produce flowers upon the young growth, should be pruned during winter. Do not fail to 
fertilize your shrubs at least once a year.
