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 bear- 
ing 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. 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 : “The Harris Apricot, a native seedling from cen- 
tral New York, is 
being largely 
grown there for 
commercial pur- 
poses, and is a 
marked success. 
The fruit is fully 
as large as the 
best Apricot 
grown in Califor- 
nia, and so much 
better quality as 
to make and hold 
a place in the 
market against 
the very best from 
California. Ifpeo-
