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 gar- 
den soil, which should be 
kept mellow and well-en- 
riched. 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. 
The Bourgeat 
Quince 
We believe this to be 
one of the finest Quinces 
ever offered. Of the best 
quality, tender; ripens right 
after the Orange, and keeps 
till past midwinter. In ap- 
pearance it resembles Rea’s 
Mammoth, illustrated on 
this page. We had fine 
Quinces of this variety in 
February and March of last 
year. The fruit is very 
large, rich golden color ; 
smooth, velvety skin, and 
has so far proved to be free from leaf blight, not having blighted in ten years, the leaves keeping green until 
killed by frost. Makes a fine tree, like pears and plums. Three bushels of fruit have been gathered from a 
10 -year old tree. We believe this variety will give the best satisfaction wherever grown. First-class, 2-years, 
40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; medium, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; second-class, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

HARRIS HARDY. Extract from The Rural New-Yorker : 
tral New York, is being large'y grown there for commercial 
purposes, and is a marked success. The fruit is fully as large 
as the best Apricot grown in California, and so much better 
quality as to make and hold a place in the market against the 
very best from California. If people want to grow Apricots 
for home use or market, Harris Hardy is the one best suited 
to the situation.” 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.
