Cydonia (the fruits known to the Romans as Mala Cydonia, apples from Cydon, now Canea, in Crete). Rosaceae, subfamily Pomeae. Quince. Shrub or small tree, grown for its fruit, which is much used for preserves and sometimes baked.<br />
<br />
Branches unarmed: Lvs. deciduous, alternate, petioled, stipulate, entire: fls. white or light pink, rather large, terminal on short leafy branchlets; petals 5; stamens numerous; styles 5, free; ovary 5-celled, cells with many ovules: fr. a 5-celled, many-seeded pome.— One species from Persia to Turkestan. The genus Chaenomeles, often included under Cydonia, is easily distinguished by the serrate or crenate chartaceous lvs. and the connate styles.<br />
<br />
The quince, though not without ornamental merit, particularly in spring when studded with its large pinkish flowers and again in autumn when loaded with its golden fragrant fruits, is rarely planted as an ornamental shrub, but chiefly, though not very extensively, grown for its fruit which is made into preserves. It is of slow growth and prefers heavy and rather moist soil. It may be propagated by seeds stratified and sown in spring, but is usually increased by cuttings of one- to four-year-old wood, taken in fall and stored until spring in sand or moss in a cellar or frame; also by layers and budding, or by grafting on vigorous growing varieties. See Quince.<br />
