QUINCES. 
Price, 25 to 37£ Cents Each. 
The Quince is an estimable fruit for Preserves, and highly valuable to the Cultivator, in dis- 
tricts mild enough for its culture, as a market fruit. It commands, in every market in this country, 
a large price. A rich, mellow and rather moist soil, is best adapted to it, with this and careful 
pruning now and again, it produces the most abundant crops and the finest fruit. In plantations, 
twelve feet apart, is the proper distance.

GRAPES, 
The cultivation of the Grape is rarely even thought of throughout a large portion of this coun- 
try, though both the Foreign and Native Varieties, under judicious management, might be pro- 
duced abundantly. The Foreign Varieties can be raised under glass, in very cheaply construct- 
ed houses, without artificial heat. 
We know of several such, recently erected for the culture of these Grapes for market. The 
Hardy Varieties every Farmer can raise as easily as he can Tomatoes, and may have an abun- 
dant supply throughout the season for his table and other uses. 
Those marked * are the best adapted for out door culture of the Foreign varieties. 
Soil Culture. — Grapes require a rich, deep and dry soil, and should receive a liberal trpdress- 
ing of well rotted manure every year. They should be in an open situation, where the sun and 
light would have free access, and kept carefully trained up to trellis work or wails. 
Pruning. — The American Grapes require comparatively little pruning. In winter, the unrspe 
wood should be all cut out, together with all shoots that seem to be unnecessary, or in the way.
