  • 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.

Since a growing number of consumers are increasingly seeking safe and healthy food options, alternative fruit production systems such as organic farming, and their potential to provide safe and nutritious foods, have been gaining increasing attention in the last decades. The aim of the presented study was, therefore, to analyse and to compare the concentrations of selected health-promoting antioxidants, such as phenolic acids, flavonols, and vitamin C, in fruits of three apple cultivars (Champion, Gala, and Idared) grown in conventional and certified organic orchards in Poland. All analyses were performed using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Organic apples tested within the study, compared to the conventionally grown ones, were characterised by significantly higher concentrations of phenolic acids (av. >31%) and flavonols (av. >66%) with the identified differences being consistent in all three cultivars and two seasons.

A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Maine in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURE by FREDERICK CHARLES BRADFORD, B. S . Orono, Maine. June, 1911. 8 2 8 5 INTRODUCTION The following pages represent an effort to trace the causes of the changing procession of varieties of apples grown in Maine. To this end the history of fruit growing in Maine has been carefully studied, largely through the Agricultural Reports from 1850 to 1909 and the columns of the Maine Farmer fran 1838 to 1875. The inquiry has been confined as rigidly as possible to this state, out­ side sources being referred to only for sake of compari­ son. Rather incidentally, soil influences, modifications due to climate, etc., have been considered. Naturally* since the inquiry was limited to printed record, nothing new has been discovered in this study. Perhaps a somewhat new point of view has been achieved. And, since early Maine pomological literature has been rather neglected by our leading writers, some few forgot­ ten facts have been exhumed.

  • Crop Profile for Apples in Kentucky
    CROP PROFILE FOR APPLES IN KENTUCKY SOURCE Title Crop Profile for Apples in Kentucky PDF Document https://ipmdata.ipmcenters.org/documents/cropprofiles/KY_Apple_CropProfile.pdf Type Crop Profile Source Date 04/18/2017 Settings Apple Region Southern States Kentucky Contacts Nicole Gauthier, University of Kentucky, [email protected], (859) 218-0720 Contributors Nicole Gauthier, University of Kentucky CROPS/SETTINGS BACKGROUND Obsolescence of existing documents. Pest occurrences and pest management practices (especially pesticides) have changed dramatically in the last several years. Thus, existing IPM crop profile documents do not resemble today’s orchards or their pest management practices. As mentioned above, there are sixteen apple crop profiles available for reference, with publication dates as late as 1997* (California), 1998* (Kentucky), and 1999* (Ohio). The newest profiles on record were released in 2009 (Tennessee) and 2010 (Virginia). Nonetheless, even the most recent profiles are vastly outdated. Disease priorities/prevalence in both the 1998* Kentucky apple profile and those from neighboring states Tennessee (2009) and Virginia (2010) are not the same as they were at time of publication. For example, apple scab is described as the most consistently serious disease of apple in Kentucky. Powdery mildew appears second in the list (unclear if this order is a ranking), but the disease does not reach epidemic proportions here. Phytophthora root and collar rot only affect young trees in poorly planted situations. The more recent profiles from Tennessee and Virginia, as well as a profile from neighboring North Carolina documented Alternaria blotch, Brooks fruit spot, black pox, and/or blister spot as common diseases. According to UK diagnostic laboratory records (2000 to present) and communication with university specialists, these diseases rarely or never occur in Kentucky.

  • Danny the Champion of the World
    Roald Dahl Danny the Champion of the World 1 The Filling-station When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself. This is how I looked at the time. I had no brothers or sisters. So all through my boyhood, from the age of four months onward, there were just the two of us, my father and me. We lived in an old gipsy caravan behind a filling-station. My father owned the filling-station and the caravan and a small field behind, but that was about all he owned in the world. It was a very small filling-station on a small country road surrounded by fields and woody hills. While I was still a baby, my father washed me and fed me and changed my nappies and did all the millions of other things a mother normally does for her child. That is not an easy task for a man, especially when he has to earn his living at the same time by repairing motor-car engines and serving customers with petrol. But my father didn’t seem to mind. I think that all the love he had felt for my mother when she was alive he now lavished upon me. During my early years, I never had a moment’s unhappiness or illness and here I am on my fifth birthday. I was now a scruffy little boy as you can see, with grease and oil all over me, but that was because I spent all day in the workshop helping my father with the cars.
