Thanks for the list Bob.  I have been googleing my eyes out looking for such 
a list.  I had, as Scott suggested, checked with Cummins Nursery to see what 
they had on quince.  Most nursery's in the U.S. do not graft onto quince, or 
do so in low numbers.  I would like to plant about 1 acre of high density 
pears, but am having trouble finding any trees.  I did not know that pears 
could be grafted with the scion and interstem at the same time.  Thanks for 
the help guys.
