 in ilandards may be fufficient. 



Or the trees may be had at the nurferies, 

 ready raifed, of two, three, or feveral years 

 growth, of a proper age and fize for bearing. 



They may be planted any time, in open 

 weather, from Odober or November till 

 March, and at the diilances before men- 

 tioned. 



In the culture of the trees, the ftandards re- 

 quire hardly any, after having formed proper 

 heads, only to prune any calual ill-growing 

 branches, as diieded for other ilandard fruit- 

 trees ; and permit the other general branches 

 to advance in their full growth, as explained 

 for apples and pears. 



And if any are planted in efpaliers, prune 

 out the fore-right and other ill-placed (hoots 

 and branches, and train the others generally 

 at iheir full length, five or fix inches afunder ; 

 and, like other efpnlier trees, will require a 

 Summer and Winter pruning ; and in which, 

 fls their mode of bearing is fimiiar to that of 

 apples and pears, as before obferved, manage 

 them in the flime manner as direcled for thole 

 fpecies. 



The quinces ripen in Septembei* and Oc- 

 tober, when they may be gathered for prefent 

 ufe ; and in Odober gather the whole, and 

 ho ufe for keeping,'
