New Quince. 



UINCE No. 80 is a seedling of Rea's Mammoth. I give a very accurate 

 description of the fridt from the Rural New Yorker. The tree is about 

 the same as Rea's Mammoth in growth and productiveness ; the mild- 

 ness and peculiar color of the fruit are remarkable. 



"No. 80 is of a deep orange color in every part. Most quinces show 

 some green. This is a uniform pure orange 3'ellow. It is nearly round, 

 measuring in one circumference 13^ inches around body, by 13^ the other, 

 i. e., around calyx and stem. The calyx basin is deep, — over an inch, — and 

 the cavity wide ; the flesh somewhat plaited or corrugated about the top, 

 which is about two inches wide. The stem cavity is one-half inch deep and 

 one-half inch wide, making a regular cavity ; the surface is undulating, though 

 gently so. A beautiful fruit, flesh lemon yellow, not quite so tender as Cali- 

 fornia, and not quite so juicy ; it is a better keeper."
