Quinces 
These succeed best in strong, clay soil, 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 sections, Quinces seem to be free of blight.

Nut-Bearing Trees

Almonds can be successfully grown in some 
sections of the South, but, owing to their early 
blooming periods, the fruit is sometimes killed 
by late spring frosts. The almond requires the 
same cultivation as the Peach.

Walnuts 
English or Persian Walnuts 
(Juglans Regia) 
The English Walnut requires a rich, well- 
drained and preferably stony soil. Never plant 
in hard pan, heavy clays, or soils which are not 
properly drained. In some sections of the 
Eastern and Southern States the English Wal¬ 
nut is quite successfully grown. The trees w y e 
offer are all grown from the best French seed, 
and have been transplanted.
