  • 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.

  • Apple Breeding: a Study of Jonathan Crosses
    J une, 1928 Research Bulletin No. 116 A.pple Breeding: A Study of Jonathan Crosses By H. L . LANTZ AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION IOWA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND MECHANIC ARTS C. F. CURTISS, Director POMOLOGY SECTION AMES, IOWA SUMMARY Two hundred seventy-three Jonathan seedlings produced by 11 crosses form the basis of the records in this bulletin. These studies show clearly that the progenies produced by the different crosses of Jonathan differ or vary in many important char­ acteristics. These variations are attributed to differences in the genetic constitution of the Eeveral varieties which were used in combination with Jonathan, and indicate the relative value of these varieties as parents when crossed with Jonathan. The range of variation in the seedlings of these progenies is gen­ erally quite wide both as to tree and fruit. Differences in the horti­ cultural characteristics such as occur in size, form, color, flavor, quality and season of the seedling fruits suggest that multiple fac­ tors are concerned, which produce the many variations observed. Jonathan appears to carry as partially dominant factors for medi­ um and below medium size of fruit, but it evidently carries factors also for large and for small size. Factors for roundish, conic, ob­ late and oblong fruit forms are present. Jonathan appears to be homozygous for red skin color but is heterozygous for pattern and carries factors for both fine and coarse grained flesh, for juiciness, for both acid and sweet flavor and for very good as well as for poor quality. The factors which control the season of the fruit are evi­ dently complex.

Carl Milliken We are finally back with a full catalog, we hope you find it of interest and that there are many iris listed herein that will intrigue you. As you will notice, we ·are reviewing and admiring ourselves just a little for some of the really great iris we have had the fortune to bring into your gardens. That may sound pretty "big headed" but you will also notice that few of these iris have been our own developments. We have been extremely lucky and honored in being chosen to introduce the iris of such notable breeders as Sanford Babson, Collie and Lillian Terrell, Caroline Dorman, Sam Rix, Walker Ferguson, Ruth Stephenson, Roy Davidson, Keith Keppel and his father, Ra1ph Conrad, Sass-Graham, and others including the breeder of Pacific Panorama, Neva Sexton and our good friend the late W. B. Davis and his wonderful Daylilies. There is a wonderful feeling involved in being the distributors of such beauty as iris can bring into our lives. There may be the bad days, and there may be interruptions and setbacks, but always these less desirable days are forgotten when the iris begin to bloom and the shipping season starts, for there is a satisfaction in all of this. Then, too, you may think kindly of us, for just the Tahoe Vista merest moment, when you are enjoying your iris in your spring garden. Such kind thoughts are also rewards, sometimes it is our entire profit.

  • Investigation of Wild Species Potential to Increase Genetic Diversity Useful for Apple Breeding
    UDC 575.630 DOI: 10.2298/GENSR1503993D Original scientific paper INVESTIGATION OF WILD SPECIES POTENTIAL TO INCREASE GENETIC DIVERSITY USEFUL FOR APPLE BREEDING Catalina DAN1, Adriana F. SESTRAS1,*, Calin BOZDOG1,2, Radu E. SESTRAS1 1University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania 2Fruit Research Station, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Dan C., A. F. Sestras, C. Bozdog, R.E. Sestras (2015): Investigation of wild species potential to increase genetic diversity useful for apple breeding - Genetika, Vol 47, No. 3, 993-1011. The potential of testing new apple cultivars and the possibility to induce valuable traits is directly dependent on the availability of sufficient genetic diversity, while apple breeding has narrowed the genetic ground of commercial cultivars. Wild species were studied in regard to their influence upon progenies and their capacity to enlarge apple genetic diversity. The interspecific seedlings were framed in five biparental mating (paired crosses), in which Malus species were crossed with different cultivars, obtaining half-sib families. The number of F1 progenies per combination varied from 31 (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda) up to 142 (Reinette Baumann × M. floribunda), with a total of 1650 hybrids F1. The influences upon vigour and juvenile period and possible correlation among fruit size and taste were analyzed. Juvenile period varied from 6.00 (M. zumi × Jonathan) to 9.31 years (Cluj 218/2 × M. floribunda). Data based on correlation coefficient illustrated that the fructification year was not influenced by the vigour of trees. The highest value of correlation for fruit’s size and taste was obtained among M. coronaria hybrids. This result might suggest that once the fruit are larger, there is a high chance the taste is also more appreciative and fruit quality for mouth feels increase.

    AFTER A COLD WINTER IN QUEBEC Claude Jolicoeur, 197 Aberdeen, Québec, Québec, Canada, G1R 2C9. (418) 524-6833 The month of January 1994 was extremely cold in all the Province of Québec. For example, in the city of Québec, the avereage temperature for this month was -18,8EC (-2EF) while the normal avereage is -12,5EC (+9,5EF). This difference is very important when considering the avereage temperature for a complete month. In fact, this is the coldest month ever recorded by the meteorological station which is in operation since 1945 at Québec airport. The previous coldest month, recorded in 1982, was -17,2EC avereage. Important damage to apple trees was also reported in the commercial apple growing region of Rougemont. We can thus consider this last winter as a real test for winter hardiness of plants. I have a small orchard at Petite-Rivière-St-François, 80 km North-East of Québec along the North coast of St-Lawrence River. This is zone 4 in both CDN and USDA maps. Like most other Nafex members who live in the North, I try to grow fruits that, according to the book, should not grow there. After a such cold winter, I find it useful to note which trees and varieties suffered damage or went through easily. 1- Varieties that suffered no or very slight damage. All the apples that have traditionally been planted in the region : Cortland, McIntosh, Lobo, Yellow transparent, Wealthy, Duchess. The following grafts and young trees : Apple trees : Idared/seedling, Kerr/M.111, Liberty/Antonovka, Prairie Spy/ seedling, James Grieve/M.106.

  • Cosmic Crisp's Growth Is out of This World
    - Advertisement - Cosmic Crisp's growth is out of this world 1 / 2 April 26, 2021 After a record-breaking sophomore year that hasn't finished, the Cosmic Crisp apple’s growth trajectory indicates it will launch to the top of the apple chart in no time. Nielsen data show monumental growth, reaching No. 11 in sales dollars in March, and No. 14 over the 52 weeks ending March 27. If retailers do not have a Cosmic Crisp apple program in place now, they are missing out on very important sales and customer expectations. “Cosmic Crisp volume is planned to more than double this fall, and double again for the 2022 harvest. This volume will rival current core variety volume, displacing mature varieties that are being replaced with higher color strains and higher flavor varieties,” said Catherine Gipe-Stewart, communications manager. “Cosmic Crisp is rising so quickly, it has potential to become a top-five variety at this time next year.” Nielsen data show a 595 percent increase in dollars and a 720 percent in volume over the four weeks ending March 27. In March alone, Cosmic Crisp earned the 11th spot with $4.3 million in sales and 1.8 million pounds, at an average price of $2.52 per pound, right in line with Honeycrisp at $2.55 per pound. Looking at a yearly perspective (last 52 weeks), Cosmic Crisp has earned $20 million in sales, with 7.7 million pounds. “Historically, apples like Cosmic Crisp take root in the Pacific region, and spread eastward like wildfire,” said Gipe-Stewart.
