Excerpt from Preliminary Notes on the Seedling Apples of Maine, 1907: This Bulletin Contains a History and Description of the More Important of the Seedling Apples Originating in MaineThe catalog of Maine seedlings, though necessarily incomplete, includes all of the best known sorts, and some which, though listed by Downing, Cole and others, have been discarded. The fact that a variety has been called to public attention in fruit lists and pomological manuals, is deemed sufficient reason for consideration at this time. Doubtless many sorts have been omitted, and it is hoped that these, with other corrections, may be included in a subsequent and more complete list.Besides the varieties above mentioned, are several more or less obscure ones, listed at different times by Downing, Thomas, Cole, and others, and mentioned in reports of the Maine Pomological Society. Many of these were Simply of local importance and were never generally propagated. Others were more or less widely distributed about 50 years ago, but have been superseded by the sorts more commonly grown in the New York nurseries. Among these varieties may be named: Blake, Chase Seedling, Childs, Dayton, Kennebec Russet, Lambert, Peachblow, Rock wood, Smith Favorite, Table Greening. As these are now wholly, or practically extinct, descriptions are omitted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
