Hi Joe

Oodles of Ashmead's Kernel scionwood this winter. Almost all had good growth 
this summer. ( Twenty whips planted in 2005. ) Anything else on your wish 
list?

There is an Irish apple - Ross Non-Pareil - that is remarkable. Although 
there won't be scionwood for another year or two - you must have some. The 
taste is fantastic. 

Did you ever acquire any Glowing Heart from Fred Janson? It was his second 
pink flesh apple released after Pink Princess. I am trying to locate his 
widow for the okay to circulate. According to Claude Jolicoeur it is a lovely 
little summer apple. I would hate to see his efforts to breed this variety be 
wasted. 

Cheers. Bizmark.

All grew out fine. I'm still looking to get Ashmedes Kernel if you have scion 
wood available.

Hello All,

Isn't this weather fabulous!
We are managing to get oodles of things transplanted before the cold front 
moves in this Friday. I also have a few assorted questions on completely 
different topics.

Carboys - my best half wants to get some proper carboys instead of the 
crystal springs water jugs. Any ideas where to get them?  Someone told me 
that Costco carries them, so they are going to get a call from me this 
morning. Any other local Toronto or southern Ontario suppliers?

Tom - Can I send you the Lady / Court Pendu Plat whip this week, or shall I 
wait till spring? I can also include a package for the quince if you can 
tell me how tall they are and if you can put the roots in a plastic bag. 
Your Richelieu whip was so small I sent it with the others into cold storage 
for the winter.

Bert - are the quince that you have for me still accessible or shall I wait 
for spring? I am heading to the farm either Wed. night or Thursday morning, 
early, and can swing by on the way.

Joe - did the scionwood I sent you this spring grow out for you or do you 
need addidtional wood this winter? I am starting to put reminder ribbons on 
branches in this decent weather, so I don't have to think too much in the 
freezing temps. I just look for the pink ribbons and drop into baggies 
already labelled.

That's all for now, but I will have more to share and ask later.
Cheers, Bizmark.
