Hello,

There is an interesting old book (1869) here with many odd entries that pertain to fruit and nuts.

"Wright's book of 3000 practical receipts, or complete book of reference, containing valuable and important receipts for medicine, cookery, pastry, preserving, pickling, confectionary, distilling, perfumery, varnishing, chemicals, dyeing, and agriculture, by A.S. Wright."

Who knew you could make walnut wine (page 8), or walnut catsup? (page 7)

The instructions for currant wine (page 128) are there too, along with making grafting wax (page 6).

Very different approach to rooting apple cuttings on page 312.

Later,
Tom
