Selection work in Poland and in Czechoslovakia has uncovered some very interesting and promising quince rootstocks for the dwarfing of pear. These stocks are both hardier and more leaf spot resistant than the popular Quince A, the stock generally used for this purpose. THis work was started in the early 1930's in Poland when the need for hardier pear rootstocks was first appreciated. Orchards and nursery stoolbeds possessing quince shoots or rootstocks surviving the test winters of 1928-'29, '34-'35, '36-'37, '39-'40 and '41-'42 were examined for exceptional individuals. Three stocks, known as S-1, S-2 and S-3, remained after 25 years of testing, and are available for commercial use.
