QUINCES. 



Plant 10 feet apart each way', 435 per acre. Small trees by mail 3c. each additional. 



This remarkable quince has already established itself in tne opinion of all who know it, as by far the 

 best of all quinces yet introduced and ever in cultivation; and this not alone on account of its magnificent 

 fruit but for the hardiness, reliability, and healthfulness of the tree. The variety was discovered by An- 

 drew S. Fuller and named in his honor by Dr. George Thurber who described it in the American Ag- 

 riculturist as follows: '* Fruit large to very large, distinctly pyriform, of ten 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 remarkably tender and well flavored. 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." 



We purchased of Mr. Fuller the sole right to propagate this remarkable Quince, purchasing at the 

 same time one of the three large trees of it (for which by the way, we paid one hundred dollars) and have 

 grown a limited number of handsome nursery trees of it. 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, smoothest, cleanest foliage we have ever seen upon a Quince, and remains upon the tree in full 

 vigor until tbe fruit is fullv mature. The tree purchased from Mr. Fu ler, was sent us in November 1886 

 and to our delight bore the following year twenty- four perfect specimens and has continued fruitful every 

 year since. It is the only Quince that has proved an entire success at Monmouth and in beauty of growth 

 and foliage, as well as beauty and excellence of fruit, it is beyond comparison with any quince we have 

 ever bad anything to do with.
