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

Persimmon descriptions:

Please note: This is not intended to be complete by any stretch of the
imagination. Neither scientific. It is a guide line only.

H-118 Very Early, large, soft, Lehman testing in orchard situation.
I-93A Lena x JCEG. Early, large, clear pulp, average taste.
U-20A D-128 x F-58. Late, very large, dull orange, good, pulps nicely
WS-8-10 VVLarge (some 86 Gr.), D-128 x F-58, mid to late, black material

19-10 Juhl x F-100. Mid to late, good producer, Avg size, good
tasting, vigorous.
100-29S Late, produces heavly, good for wildlife and deer.
100-29N Late, produces large crops of average size fruit, for wildlife.
100-42 B-59 x G-62. Mid season, Large, nice color, good flavor, soft.

100-45 B-59 x G-62. Mid season, avg to large, red blush, golden pulp,
jucy.
100-46 B-59 x G-62 .Mid to late, large, pretty red blush, sweet, exc.
taste.
100-47 B-59 x G-62. Mid season, orange, avg to large, wild life.
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
