QUICKSET, the same as the Haw- 

 thorn, or Whitethorn, Cratce'gus oxy- 

 aca'ntha. See Hedge. 



QUINCE. Cydo'nia vulga'ris. 



Varieties. Common, Apple-shaped, 



Pear-shaped, and Portugal. The last 



is the best, and very distinct from the 



others. C. sinensis, the Chinese Quince, 



has been fruited in this country, but it 



requires a wall. The fruit is very 



different from that of either the com- 



| mon or Portugal Quinces ; it is cylin- 



| drical, about six inches in length, and 



exceedingly gritty. 



Culture. The trees may be raised 

 from seed sown in autumn, but there 

 is no certainty of having the same, or 

 any good fruit from the seedlings. The 

 several varieties may be propagated 

 by cuttings and layers ; also by suckers 

 from such trees as grow upon their 

 own roots, and by grafting and budding 

 upon their own or pear stocks. 



Cuttings, layers, and suckers, may be 

 planted in autumn, winter, or early 

 spring. Choose young wood for the 

 cuttings and layers. They will be
