. Descriptive catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees, evergreens, grape vines, shrubs, bulbs, Nurseries (Horticulture) Ohio Catalogs; Trees Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs. OF FBUITS, OBXA^^EXTAL TBEES, ETC. 21 QUINGE. V The Quince is attracting a great deal of attention as a market fruit. Scarcely any fruit will pay better in the orchard. The tree is hardy and compact in growth, requires but little space, productive, gives regular crops, and comes into bearing. The fruit is much sought after for canning for winter use. When put up in the proportion of about one quart of quinces to four of other fruit, it imparts to them a most delicious flavor. It flourishes in any good garden soil, which should be kept mellow and well enriched. Prune off all the dead and surplus branches, and thin out the fruit if bearing .too freely. Apple or Orange — Large, roundish ; bright golden j'el- low; cooks tender and is of very excellent flavor. Valu- able for preserves or flavor- ing ; very productive ; the most popular and extensive- ly cultivated variety. Oc- tober, Angers—Somewhat later than the preceding; fruit rather more acid, but cooks well : an abundant bearer. Octob- \/ er. Champion—A new variety or- iginated in Connecticut. The tree is a prolific and constant bearer, fruit averaging larger than the Orange, more oval in shape, quality equally fine, and a longer keeper; bears extremely young, producing fine fruit on two year trees in nursery row. CHATklPION. NEW QUINCE. Meech's Prolific—This new variety hails from New Jersey and is very highly recommended as a vigor- ous grower and immensely productive, frequently bearing fruit when but two years of age; increasing in quantitj^ yearly to such an extent as to require vigorous thinning to prevent injury to the tree from overbearing. The fruit is large, lively orange yel- , low, of great beauty and deligiitful fragrance; its cooking qualities are unsurpassed. Rea's Mammoth—A seedling of the Orange Quince;
