Cider Fast Facts Cider Fast Facts 1 The most common fruit on 19th-century New England farms was the apple. Many farms had orchards of 100-300 trees or more; the apples were mostly turned into hard cider or dried for cooking. 2 While hard cider is made from apples, beverages can be made from different fruits, including pears, plums, and honey. Fermentation produces alcohol, which prevents spoilage. 3 New England families produced an average of 10 barrels of Special Event cider per household every fall.

I will, however, spare members. Fortunately other contributors lighten the burden and I will try to summarise just some of our activities. Between the Committee and its sub-committees and our many contacts, much happens over the course of a year and it is this that makes MAN a successful and much respected group. Also the support we receive from members, from ‘hands-on’ to a few words of encouragement, is much appreciated. The series of Forward Planning seminars continue. One outcome this year was the realisation of the need for a secretary/events organiser to support the ever widening work of the Committee. I am delighted to announce that we have appointed Mrs Marie Ward to the post and she attended her first meeting in May. Marie will be working part-time with the Committee and its officers and she has computer-based skills that will be much used in the future. We continue to develop our research and publication activities. Members will be aware of our first CD, ‘The Herefordshire Pomona’ which has received considerable praise and is now available (thanks to our Webmaster) on e-Bay! The CD was followed by a pack of postcards based on the Pomona. The production of CD2, as it is referred to, or ‘Vintage Fruit’, is now well under way thanks to Richard Wheeler.

He was a familiar figure in Fort Wayne in the I830's and died near the city in 1845. The following biographical sketch by W. D. Haley was originally published in HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, volume XLIII, November, 1871. That article is the nucleus of fact and legend current in 1871, twenty-six years after Johnny's death; it is the chief source of subsequent articles and sketches. The Boards and the Staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County reprint the article with the assurance that it will be interesting and informative to Library patrons. The "Far West" is rapidly becoming only a traditional designation; railroads have destroyed the romance of frontier life or have surrounded it with so many appliances of civi- lization that the pioneer character is rapidly becoming myth- ical.

  • A Manual Key for the Identification of Apples Based on the Descriptions in Bultitude (1983)
    A MANUAL KEY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF APPLES BASED ON THE DESCRIPTIONS IN BULTITUDE (1983) Simon Clark of Northern Fruit Group and National Orchard Forum, with assistance from Quentin Cleal (NOF). This key is not definitive and is intended to enable the user to “home in” rapidly on likely varieties which should then be confirmed in one or more of the manuals that contain detailed descriptions e.g. Bunyard, Bultitude , Hogg or Sanders . The varieties in this key comprise Bultitude’s list together with some widely grown cultivars developed since Bultitude produced his book. The page numbers of Bultitude’s descriptions are included. The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale are preparing a list of “recent” varieties not included in Bultitude(1983) but which are likely to be encountered. This list should be available by late August. As soon as I receive it I will let you have copy. I will tabulate the characters of the varieties so that you can easily “slot them in to” the key. Feedback welcome, Tel: 0113 266 3235 (with answer phone), E-mail [email protected] Simon Clark, August 2005 References: Bultitude J. (1983) Apples. Macmillan Press, London Bunyard E.A.

  • BE a MODERN-DAY JOHNNY APPLESEED Plant a Piece of American History on National Arbor Day with Johnny Appleseed Tree
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Razonia McClellan Razonia McClellan Public Relations Cell: 432.352.7477 Email: [email protected] BE A MODERN-DAY JOHNNY APPLESEED Plant a Piece of American History on National Arbor Day with Johnny Appleseed Tree JACKSONVILLE, FL (February 11, 2021) — Home gardeners and orchardists across the country have an opportunity to grow a piece of early American history with the Johnny Appleseed Authentic™ Algeo apple tree. Just in time for National Arbor Day (April 30) or National Earth Day (April 22), genetically identical copies of the last surviving tree planted by John Chapman, the real-life inspiration behind the Johnny Appleseed legend, are available for consumer purchase for the first time at https://shopjohnnyappleseed.com/. Chapman famously planted apple trees throughout the American frontier, but his orchards were largely destroyed by old age, weather and Prohibition-era federal agents looking to end the practice of cider-making. Defying the odds, the Algeo tree had survived since the mid-1800s thanks to a family of farmers in rural Ashland County, Ohio. Independently authenticated by the Johnny Appleseed museum at Urbana University and the Ohio Historical Society, the tree’s rich history lives on in the form of bud-grafted, genetically identical saplings. “We have always considered ourselves guardians of the tree,” said Kate Harvey Algeo-Wilkins, a descendant of the family which preserved the tree and in whose honor its apple is named. “We protect it and take care of it and do the maintenance. We’re very excited to share this because John Chapman shared it with us and we are happy to pass it on.” The tree was sampled and grafted by Jeff Meyer, founder of Johnny Appleseed Authentic, who learned of its existence in the mid-1990s while working for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit American Forests.
