Such trees as exist suflfer ^f=|pQ from ill-treatment in some neglected corner of the orchard. \ l^ The fact that the fruit can not be eaten raw, though delicious ll^0i when cooked, has greatly impeded the progress of its culture. In spite of this neglect it is everywhere valued for preserves and marmalades. Stewed with Apples or Pears it gives addi- tional flavor and piquancy. In Europe the Quince is highly esteemed as a dried fruit. In this country the canning of Quinces is a growing industry. The fruit is very ornamental and of delicious flavor and aroma, but the texture is too coarse and tough to allow of its being used out of hand. The tree is a slow and irregular grower, never attaining a height greater than ten or twelve feet. It thrives best in strong, well-drained soils. The roots of the Quince never run deep, therefore it is necessary to mulch heavily during the winter. A continuous crop of clover is advocated for the Quince orchard, and affords the necessary protection. Deep cultivat- ing is not advisable. 32.
