  • 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.

    ALBERT STEFFEN CENTENNIAL ISSUE NUMBER 39 AUTUMN, 1984 ISSN 0021-8235 . Albert Steffen does not need to learn the way into the spiritual world from Anthroposophy. But from him Anthroposophy can come to know of a living “Pilgrimage ” — as an innate predisposition o f the soul — to the world of spirit. Such a poet-spirit must, if he is rightly understood, be recognized within the anthroposophical movement as the bearer o f a message from the spirit realm. It must indeed be felt as a good destiny that he wishes to work within this movement. H e adds, to the evidence which Anthroposophy can give of the truth inherent within it, that which works within a creative personality as spirit-bearer like the light of this truth itself.

    Richard Nagy Ltd. Richard Nagy Ltd. The Silverman Collection Preface by Richard Nagy Interview by Roger Bevan Essays by Robert Brown and Christian Witt-Dörring with Yves Macaux Richard Nagy Ltd Old Bond Street London Preface From our first meeting in New York it was clear; Benedict Silverman and I had a rapport. We preferred the same artists and we shared a lust for art and life in a remar kable meeting of minds. We were more in sync than we both knew at the time. I met Benedict in , at his then apartment on East th Street, the year most markets were stagnant if not contracting – stock, real estate and art, all were moribund – and just after he and his wife Jayne had bought the former William Randolph Hearst apartment on Riverside Drive. Benedict was negotiating for the air rights and selling art to fund the cash shortfall. A mutual friend introduced us to each other, hoping I would assist in the sale of a couple of Benedict’s Egon Schiele watercolours. The first, a quirky and difficult subject of , was sold promptly and very successfully – I think even to Benedict’s surprise. A second followed, a watercolour of a reclining woman naked – barring her green slippers – with splayed Richard Nagy Ltd. Richardlegs. It was also placed Nagy with alacrity in a celebrated Ltd. Hollywood collection. While both works were of high quality, I understood why Benedict could part with them. They were not the work of an artist that shouted: ‘This is me – this is what I can do.’ And I understood in the brief time we had spent together that Benedict wanted only art that had that special quality.
