The Quince is always in demand, although its commercial value has changed but 

 little for many years. Quinces are largely used in cook- 

 ing, canning and preserving, as they have a delicious flavor. 

 It is a reliable cropper, and requires but little care. 

 Yet the increased size of the fruit and the quality 

 repay well for all the extra work given them. The trees 

 thrive in almost any soil, but prefer a heavy, moist, 

 clay loam.

 en yellow; rather acid, tree a thrifty grower 

 and abundant bearer. October.
