I have the following apple scions left over from the Indiana Nut Growers 
scion swap meeting. Most were brought by Gene Wild, long time NAFEX member. 

Cortland, Jonafree, Yellowgold Delicious, Arkansas Black, Jonagold, Grimes 
Golden, Arkcharm,  Red Free, Red Winesap, Liberty, Viking, Prairie Fire, 
Sweet Sixteren, Red York, Priscilla, Hubbardston Nonesuch, Sentinel, Monmouth 
Black Twig, Paula Red, Connell Red, Pomme Grise, Fantazja, Burgundy, Macfree, 
Hawaii, Ginger Gold, Keepsake, Donald Wyman crabapple. 

There is still some of the crabapple NAFEX members requested when seen at 
the annual meeting tour at Lehman's orchard. 

I still have the following persimmon:
WS8-10, Owen seedless, Jim Claypool Early Golden (JCEG), C-100, H-65A, 
I-93A, Morris Burton, H-118, 100-29N, 100-29S, 100-42, 100-45, 100-46, 
100-47, 
Knightsville. 

Also Pounds Pecan, MacAllister Hican (several spellings of this one), Oran 
Barton carpathian (large Hardy English walnut). Oran Barton is very winter 
hardy in central Indiana as the ortet is over 100 years old.   

Send $5.00 for snail mail shipment, $10.00 for priority mail, for 5 
varieties or less pieces, as long as supplies last to cover postage and 
handling

JCEG      Many people may not have true Early Golden. This variety may
           be mixed up. Lehman is using JCEG to designate the material
           he has, traceable to the ortet. Lehman judges it still
           as one of the best tasting compared to varieties available
           today, it is mid season, avg size.      
Knightsville,  Mid season, very large, red blush, soft, sweet, gd taste, 
origanted at Knightsville, IN.
Owen Seedless  No description except seedless in some areas.  

I'm often asked which is the best tasting. Taste is subjective. What may be 
best for my self, others may not judge as best. If it isn't good here in 
Indiana it isn't distributed
