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. 
THE BOCRGEAT 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. 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 io 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 
tree. We believe this variety will give the best satisfac- 
tion wherever grown. First-class, 2-years, 40 cents each, 
$4 per dozen • medium, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen. Mail 
size, postpaid, 25 cents, $2.50 per dozen.
