OF QUINCES. 203 



Quince-trees are very apt to have rough bark, 

 and to be bark-bound : in that case, it will be ne- 

 cessary to shave off the rough bark with a draw- 

 knife, and to scarify them when bark-bound ; then 

 brush them over with the Composition, as hereafter 

 directed. 



I would, however, advise to plant Quince-trees 

 at a proper distance from Apples and Pears, as bees 

 and the wind might mix the Farina, and occasion 

 the Apples or Pears to degenerate.
