Yes, yes, yes: I just spent Sunday afternoon whip grafting 18 varieties of 
apples into an orchard near town. The owner had never heard of any of them 
except Golden Russet. He's thinking of creating a block of cider apples in 
that orchard now that he has Campfield, Harrison and Wickson Crab to add to 
his mix.
Good and tired,
