Show Quince Culture Quinces like forest trees need but little lit-tle training During the first two years remove branches that are likely to interfere in-terfere or cross for all branches then will be main branches in time and will seriously interfere if allowed to cross or touch each other After that tho trees will nearly take care of themselves them-selves as far as training is concerned Let them head now and remain so for quinces are of a dwarf habit If the head is formed within a foot of tho ground it will not be too low The best tool for cultivating is a disk or cutaway harrow Those tools reach beyond the team and under the branches ot the trees thus stirring the soil and keeping down the weeds under the trees A plow is not very sntisfaotory It cannot be used under the trees without danger of barking them It does not leave the ground level and must be followed by some other tools to smooth down the ridges Tho other tools mentioned do not throw dirt enough to form ridge at the trees or in the space between either of which would not be desirable Philadelphia Phil-adelphia Ledger |
