Illustrated and descriptive catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees : evergreens, shrubs, vines, flowers, bulbs, small fruit plants, Nurseries (Horticulture), Missouri, Saint Louis, Catalogs; Fruit trees, Seedlings, Catalogs; Fruit, Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental, Catalogs. 20 ILLUSTRATED AND DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. QUINCES. The quince is hardy and prolific, bearing its crops with great regularity. The fruit always commands a good market, and with most families is considered indispensible for canning and for jelly. The trees or bushes should have a good, rich soil, clean cultivation, and an annual dressing of well rotted manure. Thinning out the twigs so as to keep the head open to the sun and air, and removing dead or decaying branches is all the pruning that is required. Plant 10 feet apart each way, 435 trees to the acre. Orange—Fruit large, bright yellow, of excellent flavor, and good bearer. The stan- dard variety in quinces. Each, 30 cents; per 10, $; per 100, $ Orange.—1/i size. Champion—Originated in Connecticut. The tree is a prolific and constant bearer; fruit averaging larger than the Orange, but not so high colored, more oval in shape. Quality equally fine, and a long keeper. Each, 30 cents; per 10, $; per 100, $ APRICOTS. There is no fruit more delicious or beauti- ful than the Apricot and its ripening between cherries and peaches renders it especially valuable. Its chief enemy is the Curculio, which can be kept in check by the method suggested for plums. Plant same as Plums.
