QUINCE. 
The growing of the Quince, both for home and market purposes, is attracting _ great deal of 
attention because of the many ways it can be made use of in canning, preserving and for flavoring 
other fruits, and also because of the remunerative prices it always brings on the market. 
No fruit will give a more profitable return for the labor put on it than the Quince. It needs 
but little pruning, enough only to remove decayed or dead limbs and such as are encrouching on 
more important branches.
