THE QUINCE. 



The Quince is a well-known hardy tree of 

 small size, crooked branches and a spreading bushy 

 head. It seems to be at home along the sea shore, 

 where the roots can penetrate living salt water. 

 While it does well in nearlj' exevy soil, it will re- 

 spond to a liberal dressing of manure each j'ear. 

 We also recommend about a quart of salt around 

 the root of each tree. The fruit is very valuable 

 for home and market and for canning, preserv- 

 ing and flavoring other fruits. 



Missouri Mammoth— The largest quince in 

 cultivation. Brought into notice in the vicinity of 

 Kansas City, Mo., where it is fruited extensively, 

 and is attracting great attention on account of its 

 being large in size, perfect in shape, very rich and 

 aromatic, tree vigorous, productive, an early 

 bearer and free from blight. 



Champion — A prolific and constant bearer, fruit 

 averaging larger than the Orange, more oval in 

 shape, quality equally as fine, bears extremely 

 young, producing fine fruit on two-year trees in 

 nursery row ; can be kept in good condition until 

 January. Tree is a vigorous grower and prolific 

 bearer; one of the best for sections not subject to 

 early frosts. 



Apple or Orange — Large, roundish; bright 

 golden yellow ; cooks tender and is of very excel- 

 lent flavor. Valuable for preserves or flavorings, 

 very productive; the most popular and extensively 

 cultivated variety. October. 



PRICE OF QUINCES. 



40c. each; $4.00 per dozen; S30.00 per 100. 



MISSOURI MAMMOTH— HALF SIZE. 



CURRANTS 



We do not think the value of this fruit can be overestimated. For every reason it should be plentiful in 

 every pantry. 



The3' should be planted in good deep soil, in a cool location and manured very heavily. Plant 4 by 5 feet, 

 work like raspberries, keep the soil moist and free from weeds, and mulch with manure; if the best quality of 

 fruit is desired, they should be pruned every year and all old wood cut from them, keep them thinned out so that 

 air can freely pass through them. Currant worms can be destroyed by using hellebore; dissolve one ounce 

 in three gallons of water, and apply with a syringe or .small sprinkling can. This can be done with very 

 little expense if performed at the right time. 



White Grape— Very large, yellowish white, sweet or very 

 mild acid, excellent quality and valuable for the table. The 

 finest of the white sorts. Very distinct from White Dutch, 

 having a low, spreading habit and dark green foliage. Very 

 productive. 



La Versa i liaise— Very largre, red; bunch long, of great 

 beauty and excellent quality; one of the finest and best. 



Cherry— Very large, deep red; rather acid ; bunches short. 

 Plants erect, stout, vigorous and very productive. 



Fay's Prolific— Color deep red; great bearer; .stems longer 

 than Cherr\ , and berries hold their size to the end of the stem 

 '•letter. Qualit}- first class; not quite .so acid as Cherry; the 

 best of all the red currants. 



Lee's Prolific— A new black English production of great 

 value. The fruit is large and of superior quality ; the bush is 

 a vigorous grower and enormously productive. 



Black Champion— Bunches are very large and the flavor of 

 the fruit jjarticularly delicious; it hangs long on the bushes.
