QUINCES 
These succeed best in strong, clay soils, in special localities, and in the Piedmont section. They can be 
grown in bush form. Being somewhat subject to leaf-blight, the trees should be sprayed with bordeaux 
mixture before the buds swell, repeating the spraying throughout the summer at intervals, as necessary. 
However, in some situations, Quinces seem to be free of blight.

ALMONDS 
Almonds are unreliable in most of the middle sec¬ 
tions of the South, as they bloom early and the fruit 
is apt to be killed by late frosts, but in some sections 
they have been grown quite successfully.
