  • Apples Catalogue 2019

    Apples Catalogue 2019

    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

Dies vor allem auch deshalb, da nach Bereitstellung eines städtischen Grundstückes auf dem Gelände des Gartenamtes, sowohl der Bayerische Landesverband für Gartenbau und Landespflege, als auch der Stadtkreisverband für Gartenbau und Landespflege Ingolstadt, mit seinen 11 Obst- und Gartenbauvereinen (ca. 3.000 eingetragene Mitglieder und ca. 5.000 Familienangehörige), bereit war, die Materialkosten zu tragen. Damit steht nicht nur den Vereinsmitgliedern der Obst- und Gartenbauvereine, der Siedlervereinigung, den Kleingärtnern, der Landwirtschaft, u.a. ein obstbaulicher Fachgarten zur Information zur Verfügung, sondern er dient allen Gartenfreunden der Bevölkerung als Beispiel für die Anzucht unterschiedlicher Kulturformen von Obstgehölzen, alter und neuer Sorten, die für den privaten Garten geeignet sind. Deshalb ist die Eröffnung des Ingolstädter Obstlehrgartens ein gartenbauliches Ereignis, ganz im Sinne jahrzehntelanger gartenkultureller Tradition Ingolstadts. Der bereitwilligen Unter- stützung des Projektes durch die Stadt Ingolstadt gilt mein persönlicher Dank.

    NEW PLANT SELECTIONS for 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower the Sunflower Is One of the Most Popular Genera of Flowers to Grow in Your Garden

    NEW PLANT SELECTIONS FOR 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower The Sunflower is one of the most popular genera of flowers to grow in your garden. First-time to experienced gardeners gravitate to these bold, easy to grow flowers. Sunflowers originated in the Americas and domestic seeds dating back to 2100 BC have been found in Mexico. Native Americans grew sunflowers as a crop, and explorers eventually brought the flowers to Europe in the 1500s. Over the next few centuries, sunflowers became increasingly popular on the European and Asian continent, with Russian farmers growing over 2 million acres in the early 19th century (most of which was used to manufacture sunflower oil). How to Grow and Care for Sunflowers: Sunflower seeds can be direct sown after the risk of frost has passed or started indoors. Seeds should be sown ¼” to ½” deep and kept moist. Taller, larger sunflower varieties have a large taproot to keep them rooted and do not do well when they are transplanted so direct sowing of those varieties is recommended. Choose a site, or a container, in full sun, with average fertility and good drainage. https://ngb.org/year-of-the-sunflower/ Proven Winners 2021 Annual of the Year – Supertunia Mini Vista® Pink Star Meet the newest star in our annual lineup!

    FACTS EVERY BUNNY PARENT (Or Parent-To-Be) SHOULD KNOW

    FACTS EVERY BUNNY PARENT (or parent-to-be) SHOULD KNOW Thank you for opening up your life and your heart to the unique love of a rabbit. This handout includes information gathered by rabbit lovers and rabbit doctors to help your rabbit have a happy, healthy, long life. IMPORTANT RABBIT FACTS: Life span: 9-12 years (possibly longer) Normal body temperature: 100.5-104 F Rabbits are herbivores, so their physiology is closer to a horse or cow than to dogs or cats. If you keep the rabbit's digestive tract healthy, you keep the rabbit healthy. Rabbits are very social animals and in nature they live in groups. Like dogs and cats, they are affectionate and bond with people; therefore they should be kept indoors as part of the family The rabbit’s natural instinct is to be close to the ground and have access to a safe hiding place; this is because they are a prey species, which basically means that many other animals eat them. Thus it is not safe for rabbits to be left unsupervised with a dog or cat, or allowed outdoors in an unsecured enclosure. WHERE CAN I GET A BUNNY? Thousands of adorable sweet bunnies are euthanized by animal shelters every year because there aren’t enough good homes. Rabbits from rescue organizations are healthier, are already spayed/neutered, are accustomed to being handled, and are often litter box trained. As cute as those little fluffy baby bunnies are in the pet store, they are at a high risk for getting sick. Baby bunnies in pet stores are exposed to a lot of germs at an age when they are most susceptible to illness.

    ancient Pterocarya stenoptera (champion), Thuyopsis dolobrata and Phyllocladus alpinus ‘Silver Blades’. We just had time to admire Michelia doltsopa in flower before having to leave this interesting garden. Our final visit was to Fonmom Castle, the home of Sir Brooke Boothby who had very kindly invited us all to lunch. We sat at a long table in a room orig- inally built in 1180, and remodelled in Georgian times with beautiful plaster- work and furnishings. After lunch we had a tour of the garden which is on shallow limestone soil, and at times windswept. We admired a large Fagus syl- vatica f. purpurea planted on the edge of the escarpment in 1818, that had been given buttress walls to hold the soil and roots. There was a small Sorbus domes- tica growing in the lawn and we learnt that this tree is a native in the country nearby. We walked through the closely planted ornamental walled garden into the large productive walled vegetable garden. This final visit was a splen- did ending to our tour, and having thanked our host for his warm hospitality, we said goodbye to fellow members and departed after a memorable four days, so rich in plant content and well organised by our leader Rose Clay.

  • From Epic to Romance: the Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise D'orange

    From Epic to Romance: the Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise D'orange

    Minnette Grunmann-Gaudet From Epic to Romance: The Paralysis of the Hero in the Prise d'Orange N HIS Essai de poétique médiévale, Paul Zumthor attempts to establish a basic structural model for the Old French epic, (Schema I I).1 He bases his schema upon a typological classification of the principal characters of the chanson de geste proposed by Pasqualino in 1970. On the primary horizontal axis we find an opposition between good and bad characters, or in socio-religious terms, between Christians and pagans. This axis is broken by secondary diagonal axes which gauge whether individuals change, becoming good by repentance or conversion to Christianity, or bad by political treason or renouncements of the Christian faith. This model clearly illustrates the moral polarities inherent in works such as the Oxford Roland and the Chanson de Guillaume, but does not account for a great number of gestes in which the conflict is between lord and vassal, uncle and nephew, husband and wife, or even two friends. Schema I 'Paul Zumthor, Essai de poétique médiévale (Paris: Éditions du Seuil, 1972),p. 326. 22 Grunmann-Gaudet / Paralysis in the Prise d'Orange 23 In a more recent endeavor to define the structure of the Old French epic, P. Van Nuffel develops a similar but more elaborate schema, based upon the Greimasian model for determining deep structures (Schema II).2 Schéma II defense of Christianity defense of Muhammedanism betrayal of Muhammedanism betrayal of Christianity Here the horizontal axes represent the axes of contraries (defense of Christianity vs. defense of Muhammedanism; betrayal of Muhammed- anism vs.
