While this is a terrific topic (always interested in apple history) and 
I don't possess the knowledge to add anything...it might interest folks

The Management Of Orchards And Cider With Accurate Descriptions Of The 
Most Estimable Varieties Of Native And Foreign Apples/Pears, Peaches, 
Plums, And Cherries, Cultivated In The Middle States Of America!" by
