PINEAPPLE QUINCE 



This was my second important new 

 quince, and was grown as a seedling 

 from Rae's Mammoth, crossed with 

 the Portugal quince. It is a remark- 

 able for its great size and productive- 

 ness, for beauty of form, and for the 

 tender flesh and delicious flavor of its 

 fruit, and the diminutive size of the 

 core. This quince is grown on the west 

 coast in enormous quantities for export. 

 No other quince compares with it in 

 quality. (Poor specimen, about one- 

 half natural size. The fruit is apple 

 or globe shaped.)
