Flower of Quince. Tt is borne on the wood of the season, not from an autnmn fi-uit-bud. Quince marmalade is more freely manufactured in Eu- rope than in America. Quinces are chiefly canned in the United States, although the juice is used in flavoring various manufactured fruitproducts aud in maliiug jelly.

Three-year-old trees are preferred by most planters. The trees begin to bear two years after planting. They reach full bear- ing at 10 or 12 years. The Quince is shallow-rooted; therefore deep plowing is to be avoided. Thorough tillage is just as necessary as with the peach and plum; adequate fertilizing is also essential to suc- cess. The Quince orchard should never be left bare of ground cover in the autumn. A cover-crop (see Cover- Crops) is required to protect the roots from frost injury during winter. Frequently the trees are weakened by the loss of surface roots. In selecting cover-crops to obviate this possibility those which can be easily in- corporated with the soil by a disk or spring-tooth barrow are preferable. Cow-peas, soy beans or buckwheat, from this standpoint, are desirable plants. Aside from this the trees may need nitrogenous and mineral fertil- izers. Their vigor and productiveness may
