Title: Re: [NAFEX] cultivar parentage If you are into fruit, the book is a great resource. You should be able to read it in many libraries, though.
Depending on how recent the varieties are, there have been supplementary lists published since then that can be downloaded free as pdf files. I have one I could send if you want to see it.

Thanks, but that's about a $50 investment, and I'm interested in the
pedigree of only 3 pear varieties! Next stop, I'll try to figure out how to
use the NAFEX library!

Here's the exact URL: http://www.ashs.org/ashspress/catalog.html
Probably the most useful book is The Register of New Fruit and Nut Varieties
by Brooks and Olmo. You can see the book at the ASHS site.

I've been trying to find (via yahoo-searches) info on the parentage or
pedigree or origin of some fruit cultivars. (That is, "what was crossed
with what to get this cultivar?")
Can't find anything consistent and useful. Would this be found in some of
the university or USDA breeding program websites ? Does anyone have these
addresses handy for posting? I've always had trouble getting these to
appear in 'net searches. Thanks for any suggestions.
