J. A. CANNEDYS FRUIT HOOK. QUIINGES. The principal uses of the quince are for preserving and for the making of jellies. No jelly can excel that made from the quince. Quince trees should be planted in a sunny and well protected spot They recpiire a rich, mellow soil. Like other fruits they need good cultivation. Quinces should be beaded very low. All dead and surplus branches should be taken out. As the borer is the quince's worst enemy, careful attention must be given to keeping it out of the trees. The quince, like the pear, is subject to blight. The tree should be kept cut back. Cutting back has ihe same effect on the quince that it does on monthly roses, it increases tbe bloom. Apple—Orange—Fruit, large: roundisht color, bright golden yellow: very productive. October Champion—Originated in Connecticut. Tree prolific and constant bearer, but blights. Fruit, large; more oval than orange: color, a beautiful Yellow; quite a long keeper. October to November. Rea's Mammoth—A very fine variety. A seedliDg of the Orange quince but much larger, of the same form and color. Very productive. October. Meech—A quince of fine size and appearance. Fully equal to the Cham- pion and in many localities excelling it. Fruit, large; roundish; color, bright clear yellow October Van Deman (l"rade-marked)—Tree hardy and strong grower. Fruit, the largest of all quinces; roundish; color, a fine lemon yellow: exceedingly pro- ductive.
