Ashmeads Kernel

Cox's Orange Pippin

King David

Arkansas Black

Esopus Spitzenburg

Snow Apple (Fameuse) Used to eat a lot of these as a kid---most unusual 
flavor.

Newtown Pippin (formerly Albemarle Pippin)

CALVILLE BLANC d' HIVER

Holstein---German seedling of Cox's Orange Pippin.
I planted one of these ten years ago, but it was a drought year and my 
pails of water couldn't keep it alive on the edge of a ridge with no 
subsurface flow of water.

Four antiques planted at the same time with some subsurface water flow 
(other side of ridge) have done well---had to surround with deer fence 
of course.

 (Southmeadow is the most extensive grower of Antiques, but you have to 
order early---they run out of stock. Unless you have a lot of land and 
time you can't grow every antique you want--see this website for other 
options to the above short list.

 (long list of fruit tree suppliers, but my best advice is to stay away 
from Edible Landscaping, Afton, Va---Along with Miller up in New York, 
on my incompetent and/or thieves list.
