FULLER. 



UndoubtedV best of all quinces yet introduced and 

 ever in cultivation, and this not alone on accoimt of its 

 magnificient fruit, but also for the hardiness, reliability 

 and healthfulness of the tree. The quince is a most 

 showy tree in both flower and fruit, and the Fuller will 

 be especially valuable to plant for ornament on account 

 of its exceptionally large and brilliant fruit. The fruit 

 is large to very large, distinctly pyriform, often with a 

 very abrupt and small neck: the surface somewhat 

 ridged; the skin assuming a rich yellow color early in 

 the season; calyx set in a deep, wide basin; flesh remark- 

 ably tender and well flavored. It is named for Mr. An-

drew S. Fuller, from whom we purchased it, and the 

 original trees are such heavy bearers that the limbs 

 have to be supported to prevent them from breaking. 

 The tree is a strong grower and has the largest, smooth- 

 est, cleanest foliage we have ever seen upon a quince, 

 and remains upon the tree in full vigor until the fruit 

 is f uUy mature. It is the only Quince that has proved 

 an entire success at Monmouth. 1st c, ea., $1.00; 3 for 

 $2.50; doz., $9.00. SmaU, ea., 75c; 3 for $2.00; doz., $7.00. 



V HARDY ORANGE. 



Citrus trifoliata. This has now been in our 

 test grounds for over five years, and, we 

 are pleased to state, has proved hardy 

 without protection, a fact we would not be- 

 lieve until we had proved it. The Oranges, 

 though small in size compared with those in the 

 markets, are exceedingly beautiful. They are, 

 however, too acid to eat out of hand, being used 

 a& lemons for making a refreshing and pleasant 

 drink. It fruits freely and blooms in spring with 

 wonderful profusion. The blossoms are large, 

 pure white, and impart the same exquisite fra- 

 grance as other oranges. In habit the tree is 

 dwarf, upright, and with abundant, rich dark 

 green, three-lobed foliage, which remains upon 

 the tree until after frost, and then falls. So val- 

 uable as to weU merit cultivation for its beauty 

 alone, or for its delightfully fragrant blossoms, 

 which are produced during almost the entire 

 spring, smnmer and autumn, and which render it 

 equal to Gardenia. Its advantages as a hedge 

 plant are its natural dense habit of growth 

 and the abundance of its sharp thorns. It is 

 naturally a dwarf tree and will need but little 

 trimming to keep it within bounds. It has safely 

 withstood a temperature of eighteen degrees 

 below zero entirely unprotected. 2 yrs., 9 to 15 

 in., branched, ea. 15c; 4 for 50c; doz., $1.25; 100, 

 $6.00 (by mail). 3 yrs., 15 to 24 in., branched, 

 ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50; 100, $7.50 {too 

 large to mail).
