QUINCES. 
The Quince is attracting attention as a market fruit. The tree is hardy and compact in growth, requires 
little space, is productive, gives regular crops, and comes early into bearing. The fruit is much sought after for 
canning for winter use. It flourishes in any good garden soil, which should be kept mellow and well enriched. 
Prune off all the dead and surplus branches, and thin out the fruit if bearing too freely. Do not neglect your 
Quince trees ; it pays well to give them your attention.

only two years old, and afterwards abundantly ; the quality is extra good. It is shaped like a handsome pear, 
with a smooth, fine skin of a bright orange-yellow, and very large, averaging, 
under good ordinary culture, 12 to 15 ounces each. It is undoubtedly at the head 
of all the varieties to-dav. First-class, 3 to 4 feet, 2 years, 35 cts. each, ¥3.50 per
