QUINCES. 
The quince is attracting attention as a market fruit. The tree is hardy and compact in growth, requires but 
little space, 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. 
MEECH’S PROLIFIC QUINCE. 
meech’s prolific quince. 
This valuable new quince has awakened great interest throughout the country. 
It often attains a growth of four feet or more the first year from the cuttings, con- 
tinuing to make a like vigorous growth as the trees attain age. It is remarkable 
for its early and regular bearing and for productiveness, sometimes bearing when 
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-day*. First-class, 40 cts. each, 
$3-5° per doz., $20 per 100.
