CHAPTER XIII. 

 CULTIVATION OF QUINCES. 



Propagation. 



The Quince is propagated by layers at any time during 

 the winter months. When the young shoots are laid down, 

 there should not be more than two eyes left above ground, 

 and when those have grown five or six inches long, one of 

 them should be cut clean off, leaving the other to form the 

 plant, which by the autumn will be three feet high. 



The layers must be taken off the stools as soon as the 

 leaves are fallen, and planted out in rows at three feet apart
