The Fuller Quince may be described as follows : Fruit large to very large ; 

 distinctly pyriform, often with a very abrupt and small neck ; the surface some-

 quince is a most showy tree in flower and fruit, and the Fuller'will be especially 

 valuable to plant for ornament on account of its exceptionally large and 

 brilliant fruit. Geo. Thurber.
