Baltimore/^Md €> Q ft ft » €> €> O ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft € BALTIMORE 6~-PACA *STS. BALTIMORE /^MD. The Franklin DaVis JVursery Co. BALTIMORE, MD. the front cover of this catalogue we present a photograph ON of the founder of our business, the late Franklin Davis, who died October 13, 1895. Below we give a short sketch of his life and the business he established. Franklin Davis was a born nurseryman, not a mere desk man, taking up with tree-growing as a mercantile business. His fondness for the work of practical horticulture was early evidenced, and, though turned loose at six years of age as an orphan, without a cent, his inherent worth brought him friends, and by the time he had reached his majority he had /'picked up" a knowledge of tree growth ample to start him in the nursery business. Born January 14, 1829, in Bedford county, Pa., his first business venture was when, in the spring of 1850, he loaded his capital on a one-horse wagon — said capital consisting mostly of a few boxes of grafts — and started south, his belief being that a promising field was there to be found. First his operations were conducted with success in Rockbridge county, Va., from whence he went to Staunton, Va. His work here was successful, and by the opening of the civil war he had a large business, and his accumulations were fully $20,000. The campaigning in Virginia during the civil war destroyed not only his trade, but most of his property, so that after the war there was no difficulty in another move, this time to Richmond, Va., where, in connection with S. C. Kent, he opened up the nursery business on a large scale. Success attended their efforts, and when, in 1879, Mr. Kent sold out his interest, Mr. Davis had under his hands one of the largest nursery enterprises in the east. Desiring to return toward the scenes of his early life, Mr. Davis removed the main office and nursery to Baltimore. The formation of the stock company occurred in 1892, after Mr. Davis had suffered a severe stroke of paralysis. His sons, who had grown up with the business, were thus more fully identified with it, and have, since the elder Mr. Davis's death, carried it on upon the broad lines laid down by their father with encouraging success.

T IS once more our pleasure to present to our /riends and patrons a new edition of our Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Etc., and in doing so we tender to them our sincere thanks for the many expressions of encouragement and substantial aid they have given us. We will endeavor in the future, as we have in the past, by strict personal attention to business, to merit their patronage and good will. In 1877, at the exhibition of the American Pomological Society at Baltimore, we were awarded a " Wilder" medal for the largest and finest collection of Apples. With these and other evidences of our success, and the many encouraging words of our friends, we do not feel like relaxing our efforts, but, on the other hand, are induced to push on with renewed energy ; and while we are adding to our acres we are also watching closely all the new fruits that are brought to notice throughout the country. If their merits seem to justify it, we add them to our list, and at the same time discard those that have proved less valuable. Our Catalogue is, therefore, under revision all the time, and every succeeding list that we make is an improvement upon the one preceding it. There are three considerations that claim the attention of purchasers of nursery stock : First, it is of the greatest importance to procure a fine article, true to name. Secondly, it is of vital importance to secure good, healthy stock, for without a healthy plant to begin with, we have but a poor chance of success ; one healthy stock is worth a dozen sickly ones. Thirdly, success often depends on careful packing ; without it thousands of dollars' worth of trees are annually lost. To secure the first, we have tested in our specimen orchards nearly all the leading va- rieties of fruit, and our orchards, being planted in different localities, enable us to judge the merits of the fruit and its success in different soils and situations. We will propagate largely only of sorts we know will succeed in the section in which we intend selling them. Secondly, we will send out nothing but good stock. Thirdly, our packing will be done in the best manner, and by experienced hands, so as to insure the safe transit of the trees. A change has taken place in the labor system of the Southern states, and with it comes a change in the pursuits of many of their people. Many are looking about undecided as to what they shall undertake. We believe that fruit-growing offers greater inducements than anything else. Under this conviction we have gone largely into the business ourselves, and " " say to others, go and do likewise ; and if you give it proper attention, we will guarantee satisfactory returns. 2 The Franklin Davis Nursery Co. Maryland is already noted for her extensive peach orchards, which are indeed a large and profitable interest in the state yet, there is room to extend them far beyond their pres- ; ent proportions, and with great certainty of profitable results. Other fruits are very prop- erly receiving more attention throughout the state. Virginia, from her climate, soil and geographical position, must at no distant date be- come famous for the products of her orchards ; and whosoever does the most to bring this about must be looked upon as a public benefactor. To this end we aspire. FRANKLIN DAVIS NURSERY CO., N. E. Cor. Baltimore and Paca Sts., Baltimore, Md. To Correspondents In the transaction of any business, a mutual desire for mutual satisfaction between par- ties should prevail. Let us, then, ask ofour patrons an observance of the following requests: That all orders addressed to us be written out in a legible style, and the name in full that no mistakes may occur. That particular and plain directions be given how they wish their packages marked, and by what route sent, and to whose care consigned. When no route is designated, we will send by the one we deem most advisable ; but let it be distinctly understood that we will, in no case, be responsible for any loss or damage that may occur after we have deliv- ered them to the forwarders. They alone are responsible. While we exercise the greatest care to have all our trees and plants true to name, well- grown, and packed in the best possible manner, and hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all trees or plants that may accidentally prove untrue to label, free of charge, or refund the amount paid therefor, it is mutually understood and agreed to between the purchaser and ourselves that our guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally received for trees or plants that prove untrue. Our reputation for upright dealing, and the uniformly high standard of quality of our prod- ucts, the result of a forty years' business career, is our only guarantee to our customers. When orders are received specifying the kinds wanted, the purchaser will please say whether we shall fill up with other varieties, should some of those which he has ordered be exhausted. We will, so far as in our power, give him his choice; but when the varieties specified cannot all be furnished, or are known to be unworthy of cultivation, we will take the liberty of substituting others in their place, unless special orders are given to the con- trary. When the purchaser is not well acquainted with the fruit by name, he would do well to leave the selection to us, briefly stating at what season he wishes the fruit to ripen ; and in such case we will exercise our best judgment in making a judicious and profitable selec- tion of the standard sorts and of good trees. Prompt attention will be given to all letters requesting information, all of which should enclose a postage stamp. It is expected that orders for trees from those with whom we have no acquaintance will be accompanied with the cash or a suitable reference. Our terms are invariably cash, or a negotiable note of short time, satisfactorily endorsed, made payable at bank. To all the points where the express companies have an office we can send trees marked C. O. D. This will save the purchaser, as well as ourselves, some trouble. When the cash accompanies the order, no charge is made for packing. From past experience we have learned that we cannot afford to delay collections, and must henceforth insist upon prompt payment. Our business is attended with heavy expenses, and we must have the cash to push it. Trees, plants, etc., will be carefully taken up, each kind tied by itself and labeled, and the roots packed so as to carry safely. Hints on Transplanting The proper season for transplanting fruit trees is during the months of February, March and April in the spring, and October, November and December in the autumn.

  • 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.

  • Using Whole-Genome SNP Data to Reconstruct a Large Multi-Generation
    Muranty et al. BMC Plant Biology (2020) 20:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-019-2171-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Using whole-genome SNP data to reconstruct a large multi-generation pedigree in apple germplasm Hélène Muranty1*† , Caroline Denancé1†, Laurence Feugey1, Jean-Luc Crépin2, Yves Barbier2, Stefano Tartarini3, Matthew Ordidge4, Michela Troggio5, Marc Lateur6, Hilde Nybom7, Frantisek Paprstein8, François Laurens1 and Charles-Eric Durel1 Abstract Background: Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) is one of the most important fruit tree crops of temperate areas, with great economic and cultural value. Apple cultivars can be maintained for centuries in plant collections through grafting, and some are thought to date as far back as Roman times. Molecular markers provide a means to reconstruct pedigrees and thus shed light on the recent history of migration and trade of biological materials. The objective of the present study was to identify relationships within a set of over 1400 mostly old apple cultivars using whole-genome SNP data (~ 253 K SNPs) in order to reconstruct pedigrees. Results: Using simple exclusion tests, based on counting the number of Mendelian errors, more than one thousand parent-offspring relations and 295 complete parent-offspring families were identified. Additionally, a grandparent couple was identified for the missing parental side of 26 parent-offspring pairings. Among the 407 parent-offspring relations without a second identified parent, 327 could be oriented because one of the individuals was an offspring in a complete family or by using historical data on parentage or date of recording. Parents of emblematic cultivars such as ‘Ribston Pippin’, ‘White Transparent’ and ‘Braeburn’ were identified.

    Erwerbs-Obstbau (2020) 62:117–154 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10341-020-00483-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Molecular Genetic Identification of Apple Cultivars Based on Microsatellite DNA Analysis. I. The Database of 600 Validated Profiles Sanja Baric1,2 · Alberto Storti1,2 ·MelanieHofer1 ·WalterGuerra1 · Josef Dalla Via3 Received: 12 March 2020 / Accepted: 24 March 2020 / Published online: 28 April 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) is the most widely grown permanent fruit crop of temperate climates. Although com- mercial apple growing is based on a small number of globally spread cultivars, its diversity is much larger and there are estimates about the existence of more than 10,000 documented varieties. The varietal diversity can be described and determined based on phenotypic characters of the external and internal traits of fruit, which, however, can be modulated by environmental factors. Consequently, molecular methods have become an important alternative means for the char- acterisation of apple cultivar diversity. In order to use multilocus microsatellite data for determination of unidentified or misidentified apple varieties, a database with molecular genetic fingerprints of well-determined reference cultivars needs to be available. The objective of the present work was to establish such a database that could be applied for the molecular genetic determination of a large number of historic and modern, diploid and triploid apple cultivars. Based on the analysis of more than 1600 accessions of apple trees sampled in 37 public and private cultivar collections in different European countries at 14 variable microsatellite loci, a database with 600 molecular genetic profiles was finally obtained.

  • Fruit Handbook for Western Washington
    EB0937 Fruit Handbook for Western Washington VARIETIES AND CULTURE G.A. Moulton and J. King Washington State University Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU NWREC) INTRODUCTION The Fruit Handbook for Western Washington is intended as a guide for both home growers and commercial orchardists. The information in this bulletin is based on fruit evaluation trials conducted during the past 40 years at Washington State University Mount Veron’s Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU NWREC) located in the Skagit Valley, several miles west of Mount Vernon, a coastal area west of the Cascade range. The coastal maritime climate of western Washington, particularly the Puget Sound region, is characterized by mild wet winters and relatively dry summers with moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights. While the various climatic zones within western Washington may favor different varieties of fruit, most of those listed here will bear reliably year after year. Although a hard frost in February or March can damage early flowering fruit kinds like apricots, it is rarely cold enough to do permanent harm to temperate-climate varieties. This bulletin covers the selection and cultivation of standard tree fruit kinds generally found in temperate zone orchards: apples, pears, Asian pears, plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. Also discussed here are some of the fruiting shrubs (currants, gooseberries, aronia, sea buckthorn or seaberry) and vines (grapes,1 kiwis) that have been tested over
