Pomegranates 
The Pomegranate is hardy in the gulf .states 
and central sections of Georgia and the Caro- 
linas. 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 increas¬ 
ing in eastern markets, and the Pomegranate is 
being grown in some sections on an extensive 
scale. The fruit carries well to distant mar¬ 
kets.

Deciduous Shrubs 
It is seldom that a home in the country, suburb or town cannot be improved in appearance 
and greatly enhanced in value by the judicious treatment of the grounds, irrespective of size; 
and for this purpose many flowering shrubs lend themselves most, admirably. Shrubbery, prop¬ 
erly planted 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 succession 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 suggest the use of an individual specimen—in such a case a 
variety should be selected that will develop symmetrically. 
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 trees 
on page 4 apply 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 de¬ 
pends upon proper pruning. All deciduous shrubs should be pruned annually. The tops and 
branches should be cut back one-third or one-lialf 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 should not be pruned until June or July, or 
after the blooming period has passed. To this class belong the Althaeas, Cvdonias, Deutzias, 
Forsythias, Pliiladelphus, Spiraea, etc. Do not fail to fertilize your shrubs at* least once a year’ 
ALTHAEA FRUTEX. See Hibiscus Syriacus.
