QUINCES 



Quinces are so generally useful in cooking, in canning 

 and preser\-ing, and have such a fine flavor, that it is 

 strange more are not planted. Markets never have 

 enough of them, and the price has been about what 

 the grower asked. If they are available for home use. 

 they \^-ill surely be tasted in all the good things cooked 

 or canned. Those who have once tasted "Quince 

 Honey" \\ill never need to be convinced that the Quince 

 flavor is the finest of that of any fruit which grows, 

 when it is properly blended. Cultivation, spraying 

 and pruning will have as much effect in producing fine 

 fruit from Quinces as they do ^^-ith apples.

ASPARAGUS 



There are good reasons why much more Asparagus than is now grown in this country should be raised. Every 

 home \^-ith a garden in country or city should have a bed for home use. Every farm can materially add to its 

 income with a patch of Asparagus. A bed is easy to plant and care for. When once started it will \-ield the 

 same kind of pa^-ing crops year after year, for from ten to twenty five years. A money maker as an orchard cover 

 crop. The cultivation it gets is exactly what the tree needs. This cultivation is neither difiiciflt nor expensive, 

 and the right methods are readily picked up by any one.
