  • 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.

  • Assessment of Apple Cultivars for Organic Fruit Growing
    Agronomy Research 7(Special issue I), 363–368, 2009 Assessment of apple cultivars for organic fruit cultivation J. Lanauskas, A.Valiuškaitė, N. Kviklienė, A. Sasnauskas and N. Uselis Lithuania, Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture, Orchard management department, Kauno 30, LT-54333 Babtai, Kaunas distr., Lithuania; e-mail [email protected] Abstract. In 2005–2008 apple tree cultivars and selections were tested at the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture in an organic apple tree orchard. Apple trees on rootstock B.396 were spaced at distances of 4 x 2 m; the orchard floor was a cultivated soil. The bioinsecticide Bioshower against aphids was applied once a year, fungicides were not used. Apple trees of cultivars. ‘Pilot’ and ‘Pinova’ were significantly affected by apple scab (Venturia inaequalis Cke. Wint), and ‘Lodel’ – by apple powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha (Ellis et Everh.) Salm). Apple trees of the cultivar. ‘Aldas’ and selection 18501 were the most vigorous. In 2007– 2008 the greatest average yield was from the cultivars ‘Florina’, ‘Rosana’, selections 20,490 and 22,1709.1–14.7 t ha-1. These same cultivars and selections were the most yield efficient. The greatest average fruit weight was from cultivar. ‘Witos’ (272 g), the smallest from the cultivars ‘Pilot’, ‘Pinova’, ‘Goldrush’ and ‘Lodel’ (111–137 g). The highest taste score was from ‘Goldstar’, ‘Rubinola’, ‘Topaz’, ‘Rajka’ and ‘Lodel’ apples. Key words: apple scab, yield, fruit weight, taste INTRODUCTION Technological progress in agriculture and related branches of industry has resulted in an increase in agricultural production. Highlydeveloped countries produce more food than they consume themselves. People concerned about their health have begun to seek more healthy products.

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.
