Don't know, yet, Tom, but I do have a piece of Aromatnaya quince fostered 
onto a branch of my Clapp's Favorite pear.

Rob,
I'm not sure about dwarfing capabilities, but if you can't find quince, 
I've got several pears grafted onto native hawthorn (C.crus-galli) 
seedlings that I transplanted from the cow pasture.  I would think that 
hawthorn seedlings would be fairly readily available, since Washington, 
Winter King, etc., are seeing so much use, recently as ornamental plantings.
