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. 
MEECH’S PROLIFIC QUINCE. 
This valuable new quince has awakened great interest throughout the country. It 
often attains a growth of 4 feet or more the first year from 
the cuttings, continuing 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 culture, 13 to 15 ounces- 
each. First-class, 50 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., $25 per 100.
