2 A great canning fruit for 
Orange Quince home use, and well paid on 
the market. The fruit of the size of large apples, 
yellow with a heavy covering of fuzz, is a good keeper. 
Its texture is similar to pears, and contains the highly 
pleasing quince flavor. Can be cooked with pears or 
apples, or can be canned for quince preserves or quince 
syrup. The tree is not sufficiently hardy in Nebraska 
to make a long lived producer, but south of here, and 
in the East and Great Lakes region it can be grown 
successfully on good soil. Grows to a dwarf tree, and 
can be planted 12 feet apart. We have a limited num- 
ber of these trees. 2!/ to 4 ft. size for $1.00 each, 
orepaid.
