QUINCES 
The quince is, of late, attracting a good deal of attention as a 
market fruit. Scarcely any fruit will pay better in the orchard. The 
tree is hardy and compact in growth, requiring but little space. Pro¬ 
ductive, gives regular crops and comes early into bearing. The fruit 
is much sought after for canning for winter use.
