POLYANTHUSES, To Raise. — These flowers require to be
placed in a somewhat moist, half-shaded position, such as under tall trees
or at the foot of a north-east or north-west wall. The double kinds are in-
creased by dividing the stool, while single polyanthuses are raised from seed
sown, as soon as ripe, on leaf mould and sand, pricking the plants out
when large enough to be handled into the place where they are to flower.
POMADE (CASTOR OIL). — Melt together four ounces of
castor oil, two ounces of refined lard, and two drams of white wax. When

slow fire two ounces of marrow, and the same amount of refined lard, then
add four ounces of elder-flower oil and stir till it is nearly cold.
POMATUM (MARROW). — Melt together one pound of lard
and half a pound of suet. When nearly cold stir in three drams of otto of
lemons and the same amount of otto of cloves.
POMEGRANATE, General Treatment of the. — The pomegranate
will live out of doors in England if planted against a wall where it gets
shelter in winter and the sun in summer ; but it is best treated as a tub-
plant, kept in a green-house till summer, and then put out in the open to
flower. The plant is propagated by cuttings struck in heat, and requires
to be kept copiously supplied with water during its period of growth. It
flourishes best in a well-drained substantial rich loam, which should be re-
newed every three or four years. As it flowers upon the new wood, care
should be taken when pruning to leave on the lateral spurs.
PORK, Chine of. — This joint may be sent to table either roasted or
boiled, but the former is generally preferred. Lay it in salt for three or
four days previous to cooking, then cut the skin lengthways into small
strips, but not deep enough to reach the meat. Roast it with sage and
onions finely shred. Serve with apple sauce. It generally accompanies
turkey.
