BERRIES, GRAPES 15. York Elderberries - (Left)Fast growing shrubs with nutritional, tart berries generally used for jam, jelly, wine and pies. Produces more berries when growing two or more varieties. All Zones 16. Adams Elderberries - Feed wildlife, birds and yourself with nutrient rich fruit. All Zones 18. Tri-Variety Grape Bundle – In each bundle you will receive one each of the following varieties: Reliance – produces large clusters of round, red, medium-sized berries with tender skin non-adhering to flesh. Color is pink to red when fully mature with delicate Labrusca flavor and aroma, without noticeable seed traces. Vanessa – (right) produces medium-sized clusters of bright deep red berries with moderate bloom, firm flesh and crisp texture. Flavor is mildly aromatic but not of Labrusca type and is considered among the best of red seedless grapes. Canadice – produces compact cluster of medium size, pink to light red seedless berries.

Highbush Blueberry Plants: These plants are extremely hardy and the berries are sweeter than most highbush varieties. Plants do very well when planted in a peat moss and shredded pine bark mixture with little or no soil. A ph of 4.5 – 4.8 (provided by the peat moss) is critical for healthy, long-lived plants as is regular watering, especially during the first year. Since the roots stay in the original hole, an organic fertilizer is important. A thick, pine mulch is also important – refreshed annually. 19. Toro Blueberry - Highbush type cultivar. Height will be 5-6”. Plants are vigorous and grow upright in stature. Ripening of the fruit is mid-July. Yield is very consistent and heavy.

Very productive, study, strong, summer-bearing canes of 4-5’. Landscape Shrubs All of the landscape plants we offer contribute to the natural balance and health of your land, providing food for pollinators as well as birds and wildlife. They also offer traditional garden beauty with color and texture throughout the year. This year, we are offering some small trees you might not have imagined planting. Serviceberry, or shadbush, offers a beautiful flush of small white blooms early in the spring and edible berries. Pussy willow is a great wildlife plant that also provides those early buds and flowers, just as we are longing for signs of spring. These plants can handle wet and dry conditions of shorelines and rain gardens. Landscape Shrubs: Returning Favorites 22. Summersweet (Sweet pepperbush) - (Clethra alnifolia) ‘Hummingbird’ - This native shrub is somewhat unique in providing spikes of white, fragrant flowers in late summer when few shrubs are blooming and which grows in the shade or sun. Fall foliage is yellow to orange. Summersweet will grow in well drained or wet soils. It is compact and mounding but spreads and can create a lovely hedge or border of medium height 3-8’. 23. Virginia rose - (Rosa virginiana) This lovely native rose is ready to give you old fashioned scented roses while providing vigorous, spreading growth that can provide a low hedge or erosion control on steep, rocky, dry areas or shoreline. It likes sun but will grow more slowly in part shade. Foliage and stems offer lovely, deep reds in fall and persistent beautiful hips for wildlife food…a great replacement for barberry or burning bush. 3-5’ 24. Highbush cranberry - 15-18” plant - (Viburnum opulus) This tall (to 12’) shrub is just plain gorgeous, offering dark lobed leaves, dense rounded growth and brilliant clusters of showy white flowers turning to bright red clusters of berries, which birds don’t eat, so they persist into winter. A must have for a showy area of shrubs! Its dense foliage will shelter songbirds. Foliage is a deep, complex burgundy color in fall that will make you just as happy as burning bush. Can be pruned to keep at a lower height. Wet to dry areas. 25. Red-osier (red twig) dogwood – (Cornus sericea) 18-24” plant - (Swida sericea) This spreading, tall (6-8’) shrub is perfect for woodland or wetland borders and other wet places including rain gardens, but it will also grow in drier soils. Its red twigs create year around interest. If you are removing honeysuckle, multiflora rose, knotweed or other plants that tend to come up in these areas, this vigorous shrub is the perfect replacement. 26. Shrubby cinquefoil - (Potentilla fruticosa)‘ Goldfinger’-18-24” plant - If you want a vigorous, bushy shrub that performs like a bed of long flowering annuals, this is your plant. It spends most of the summer covered in yellow flowers accented by small, lacy green leaves that are a bit on the bluish side, so it offers a unique foliage texture and color. Wet or dry soils! Easy to prune into small mounding shapes. 1-3’ 27. Serviceberry – (Amelanchier canadensis) 12-15” plant - is rare in that it offers interest in every season. It kicks off in spring with beautiful white flowers, which develop into tasty purple berries that attract birds in early summer. Or harvest the berries and use them to make delicious jams, jellies, and pies. A small tree that will grow to 25-30 feet. 28. Buttonbush - (Cephalanthus occidentalis) 12-15” plant - Is a wonderful addition to the shore of a pond, wetland or lake., doing quite well with changes in water level.

  • 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.

Sanders R. (1988) The English Apple. Phaidon, Oxford Each variety is categorised as belonging to one of eight broad groups. These groups are delineated using skin characteristics and usage i.e. whether cookers, (sour) or eaters (sweet).

    Exile for Dreamers - Tess’s Story Kathleen Baldwin Baldwin, page 1 Exile for Dreamers —A Stranje House Novel— By Kathleen Baldwin Exile for Dreamers - Tess’s Story Kathleen Baldwin Baldwin, page 2 Dedication To the men who taught me to run, swim, hunt, gallop horses, ride the rapids, ski powder, hang-glide, and rock climb - back when girls did not do that sort of thing. To Daddy, for teaching me to box at a time when it was sacrilegious to strap a pair of boxing gloves on a little girl, and to the boys whose noses I broke – I am truly sorry. And to Susan Thank you for your extraordinary skills as an editor. I’m grateful you can see when I am blind. Exile for Dreamers - Tess’s Story Kathleen Baldwin Baldwin, page 3 Chapter 1 Tess I run to escape my dreams. Dreams are my curse. Every night they haunt me, every morning I outrun them, and every evening they catch me again. One day they will devour my soul. But not today. Not this hour. I ran with Phobos and Trobos, the half wolves half dogs who guard Stranje House. We raced into the cleansing wind. What is the pace of forgetfulness? How fast must one go? “Tess! Wait!” Georgiana’s gasps cut through the peace of the predawn air and broke my rhythm. I slowed to a stop and turned. A moment later, Phobos broke stride too, and trotted back beside me. He issued a low almost imperceptible growl, impatient to return to our race. Georgie leaned forward breathing hard.

  • 2019 ANNUAL REPORT a National Leader in Animal Care, Conservation and Visitor Experience
    Providing a level of excellence that makes the Rosamond Gifford Zoo 2019 ANNUAL REPORT a national leader in animal care, conservation and visitor experience. 1 A JOINT MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD There is much to celebrate in the Friends 2019 annual report. Last year saw the birth of a baby Asian elephant and two critically endangered Amur leopard cubs. The zoo unveiled several new exhibits and welcomed several new rare and endangered species. Friends of the Zoo and our county partners upgraded and expanded the Helga Beck Asian Elephant Preserve, and construction began on a key Friends project, the Zalie & Bob Linn Amur Leopard Woodland. Some 332,000 people visited the zoo, enhanced by the Friends’ addition of a summer-long Big Bugs! attraction and a new 18-horse carousel. Our education programs involved more than 10,000 participants, including more than 7,500 school-age children. Our volunteers provided educational enrichment to guests, beautified the zoo with lush gardens and joined work projects to improve the facility. Our catering staff executed more than 120 events, from weddings to the Snow Leopard Soirée to Brew at the Zoo. All told, Friends provided more than $175,000 in direct support to the zoo and allocated more than $500,000 for capital improvements to help the zoo meet the “gold standard” for animal care and welfare, conservation education and saving species. We are extremely proud of these accomplishments, and we hope you will enjoy this look back at our achievements and all the people, businesses and community partners that helped make them possible.
