Section of Orange Nursery, Exeter, Tulare County. POHEGRANATES. The Pomegranate is a fruit which has received little or no attention, on account of the poor varieties which have been constantly offered. The common pomegranate grown everywhere, is tasteless, poor and cannot compare with the varieties introduced by us. Pomegranates need an abundance of water and do best on rich, moist soil. They should be grown as bushes, not as trees. If pruned heavily, they bear poorly. They should not be judged by the first season's crop, as young plants never bear fine fruit. We offer the following excellent varieties: Papershell—This is a new variety of very fine quality, with a thin skin, hence the name; the skin separating the pulp is also very thin, like tissue paper. For home consumption, this variety will be highly valuable; tree a good bearer, but more dwarf than the following. Spanish Ruby—Fruit very large, as large as the largest apple; eye very small; skin thick, pale yellow with crimson cheek; meat of the most magnificent crimson color, highly aromatic and very sweet. This pomegranate is simply magnificent and peo- ple who have never before liked the pomegranate, have praised this fruit as un- equaled. The Spanish Ruby is a fine grower, good bearer and ships well. Sweet Fruited—Fruit large, with sweet, juicy pulp; ripens in September. Wonderful (New.)—Fruit is very large and highly colored, making it very attractive; the pulp is of a rich garnet color, while the juice is as dark as port wine and of ex- quisite flavor. Ripens late, does not burst, and on account of its good keeping qualities is very valuable for shipment to the Eastern Market durin
