8 HENRY FIELD’S SEED 
SENSE FOR MARCH, 1949—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 
ae 

New Carnation-Flowered 
Pomegranate 

One of our men was down in Tennessee 
awhile back, and he was so struck with 
the beauty of this new Pomegranate that 
he brought some home. It is a very 
showy, small shrub to beautify your 
home. Grows 3 to 4. feet high at the 
most, and has bronzy green foliage some- 
thing like the color of evergreens. Blooms 
are like huge scarlet carnations and are 
followed by big, pretty-red fruit. Loses 
its leaves for a short time during the win- 
ter, but quickly regains them. 
I think this will really take your breath 
away. Predict it will be one of the most 
popular shrubs on the market in a few 
years. Plant anywhere from Missouri 
south. Likes full sun but grows well al- 
most anywhere. Likes drouth. 
No. AN262S. 12” to 15” size, 98c each; 
. 8 tor $2.79, postpaid.
