shewhomust: (bibendum)
Correction of the week in today's Guardian:
• The image accompanying Alys Fowler's gardening column in today's Weekend magazine is of the wrong kind of quince. The picture shown is the fruit of the quince tree, Cydonia oblonga, whereas Alys refers to Chaenomeles japonica, an ornamental plant commonly known as japonica or Japanese quince (Harvest festival, 1 September, page 69, Weekend).
"The wrong kind of quince"? That's fighting talk! What they mean, of course, is that an article about the wrong kind of quince was inadvertently illustrated with a picture of the right kind of quince.

The article is here, now illustrated with the kind of quince it intends - and actually, of course, no quince that fruits can ever be entirely wrong...
