146 THE PEAK UPON THE QUINCE STOCK. 



VAEIETIES FOE DOUBLE WOEKING. 



The following varieties, which have proved averse 

 to the Quince, will, by double w^orking, bear fruit 

 im]3roved in texture, size, and flavor : 



JBeurre d'Aremlerg — coarse, woody, and gritty, on 

 pear roots, and a feeble, diseased grower, directly on 

 the Quince. 



N'ajpoleon — often scarred and spotted on the Pear, 

 but frequently handsome and smooth upon a double- 

 worked tree. 



Bartlett — although fine when grown on the pear 

 stock, is much improved on the Quince. 



Beurre Clairgeau — coarse on pear roots, somewhat 

 averse to the Quince, but nearly first-rate upon double- 

 worked trees. 



The following varieties, that are tardy in bearing, 

 are but moderately improved by the Quince in quality, 

 and are proj)agated with difiiculty upon that stock, 

 but may be profitably grown by double working : 



Beurre Bosc, Dix, Seckel, Tyson, Andrews, Fulton, 

 Lawrence, Winter ^elis, Marie Louise, Beurre Kance, 

 St. Michael Ai'change, Columbia.
