Golden Delicious--
Andrew Mullins discovered a unique and mysterious sight blooming among his apple orchards in 1905. A bumper crop of golden fruit shone from the boughs of a tree which Mullins knew he had not planted. Mullins watched for the next nine years as this remarkable tree produced it's delectable fruit--even during seasons when other trees did not. He finally took some samples of this large yellow apple (simply named "Mullins' Yellow Seedling") to Stark Brothers Nursuries in 1914. Possibly a chance seedling from Grimes Golden and Golden Reinette, Stark Brothers bought propagation rights and re-named the apple "Golden Delicious," as a companion to its Red Delicious (though the two varieties are not genetically related). Sweet and fragrant, the lightly textured green/gold skin of the Goldens protects a crisp interior and helps the apple retain its extra juiciness. The appealingly uniform shape and the wide variety of uses have helped propel Golden Delicious into the second most popular apple in the United States. Great for both fresh-eating and in salads (because the flesh stays white longer), Golden Delicious maintains a rich taste when baked or cooked in such products as apple sauces, apple butter, apple pies. They are also considered the best choice for apple cider.

Braeburn--
Braeburn was discovered as a chance seedling in New Zealand nearly fifty years ago. It's origin is thought to be a cross between Lady Hamilton and Granny Smith, giving the apple an attractive 'bi-colour' which is red with green under-striping . This large variety is one of the premier apples for fresh eating. Braeburn has an exceptionally crisp and juicy flesh, with a rich, full blend of sweet-tart flavour. It is a scrumptious addition to salads, or with mild cheeses, and the apple holds its shape even when cooked. Because it will keep in storage year round, Braeburn is an excellent fruit for export. Look for this variety late in the season, beginning in mid-October.
C
ameo--
Cameo originally came from a single, lone tree which was found to be growing amidst an orchard full of Red Delicious apples in Dryden, Washington, nearly twenty years ago. It is fast becoming one of the more sought-after of the newer varieties introduced to market within recent years. Harvested in October, this lovely apple displays multiple colours and, like the Braeburn, holds its shape well when cooked. This makes it an excellent choice for both pies and sauces. Cameo has a firm texture and a savory sweet-tart snap which is perfect for fresh eating. Slow to brown once it has been sliced, Cameo is the ideal compliment to a fruit or fresh green salad.
F
uji--
Fuji has become widely available in recent years--one can now find it in most super-markets every season--and it remains one of the most delectable introductions to this country. Long a favourite in SE Asia, having been developed at Tohuku Research Station in Morioka, Japan, this intriguing cross between Red Delicious and Ralls Janet was first brought to our attention from New Zealand in the 1980s. Fuji apples are aromatic and juicy with a spicy, crisp sweetness which renders an exceptional eating quality. For those with a 'sweet tooth,' this big sweet apple makes a great substitute for sugary snacks. Fujis keep very well in storage, and there are some who claim that, like fine wine, the flavour of this magnificent cultivar actually improves with age. Washington's cool weather in the late fall helps develop the reddish-pink color and superb tatse. Fuji's are harvested anywhere from late September through early November and can be purchased throughout the year.
G
ala--
"Gala is a strikingly attractive apple. The bright yellow skin is finely stippled with red, as if airbrushed. . .from across the room, you'd think you were looking at a peach." Thus begins Roger Yepsen's description of this import from New Zealand, found in his book, simply titled, APPLES. In the 1920s, orchardist J.H Kidd crossed a Golden Delicious with his own Kidd's Orange Red, and the result has been to ensure the current popularity of this gourmet choice. Gala is an early-season delight, with a bouquet of juicy, sweet flavor contained in its dense, yellow flesh. It is not a very large apple, and many grocery stores now label their smallest varieties as "baby Galas." Terrific for eating out-of-hand, Gala is at its very best when purchased locally, in season. Enjoy this delicious treat in the early fall, when it is fresh and available from local growers at their farm markets.
G
ingergold--
If not the earliest variety of the season, Gingergold is certainly one of the most anticipated. Because it can be found only for a few short weeks, from August into September, this tangy, sweet delight--some say that Gingergold has a taste that is faintly reminiscent of pears--quickly disappears from local farm markets. This medium sized golden-yellow fruit was discovered as a chance seedling in the orchards of Clyde and Ginger Harvey in Albemarle County (near Charlottseville, Virginia). One apocryphal narrative has it that this seedling was deposited by Hurricane Camille in 1969. While neither as rich nor as heavy as the fall varieties, this delicious fresh-eating cultivar is a perfect late-summer indulgence.
G
olden Delicious--
Andrew Mullins discovered a unique and mysterious sight blooming among his apple orchards in 1905. A bumper crop of golden fruit shone from the boughs of a tree which Mullins knew he had not planted. Mullins watched for the next nine years as this remarkable tree produced it's delectable fruit--even during seasons when other trees did not. He finally took some samples of this large yellow apple (simply named "Mullins' Yellow Seedling") to Stark Brothers Nursuries in 1914. Possibly a chance seedling from Grimes Golden and Golden Reinette, Stark Brothers bought propagation rights and re-named the apple "Golden Delicious," as a companion to its Red Delicious (though the two varieties are not genetically related). Sweet and fragrant, the lightly textured green/gold skin of the Goldens protects a crisp interior and helps the apple retain its extra juiciness. The appealingly uniform shape and the wide variety of uses have helped propel Golden Delicious into the second most popular apple in the United States. Great for both fresh-eating and in salads (because the flesh stays white longer), Golden Delicious maintains a rich taste when baked or cooked in such products as apple sauces, apple butter, apple pies. They are also considered the best choice for apple cider.
G
ranny Smith--
Granny Smith comes to this country from Australia. Legend has it that Marie Ana Smith carelessly tossed some French crabapples into her garden back in the 1860s. Upon discovering the sprouts which had surfaced, she cultivated the young shoots into horticultural history. This commercial prize is now grown world-wide, and apple-lovers can find Granny Smith in their markets year-round. Harvested here in mid-October, this green, crisp juicy variety will delight those who enjoy a burst of tangy-tart in every bite. Filled with plenty of crunch and flavour, Grannies are best eaten fresh, crisp and cold, either as snacks or in salads.
J
onagold--
Jonagold is an excellent dessert variety that is much more popular in Europe than it is in America. It is one of the leading commercial varieties on the Continent, particularly in the cooler climates of Belgium and Holland. Developed in 1968 by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva, New York, this brilliant, golden-red cross between Jonathan and Golden Delicious ripens from mid- to late September. There are now over 70 strains of the variety and, depending on strain and climate, the colour varies from pale green-gold with faint red strip to solid red. Containing the tart-sweetness of Jonathan and the juicy crispness found in the texture of the Goldens, the subtle and complex taste seems to be at its best for a couple of weeks after picking, when this cultivar is a real treat. Jonagold has also become a prized culinary apple, making for exceptionally fine sauces and excellent sautee; delicious in salads and with strong cheeses. Fresh Jonagold apples are available from Washington during September and October, but lmited supply means that this variety is not yet available year-round. Noted for its large size, beauty and flavor, the versatile Jonagold is a taste test winner.
P
ink Lady--
Yet another import from the land "down under" this variety was originally named Cripp's Pink. Developed and bred by the agriculture department of Western Australia in 1973, Pink Lady apples are a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams. Introduced to the United States by way of New Zealand in the late eighties, the fruit is medium in size and conical in shape, with a distinctive pink blush over a yellow background. The fine-grained flesh of this apple is crisp and crunchy and, because it does not brown easily after being cut, Pink Lady is a desirable addition to fresh vegetable and fruit salads. When eaten out-of-hand, the first bite tastes pleasantly tart and is followed by a delicious sweetness. Pink Lady ripens in September and can be found in most markets right through late spring months.
R
ome--
This perfectly round, deep solid red apple owes its popularity more to its looks than its taste. While it is considered by many to be only fair as a fresh-eating variety, Rome (also known as Rome Beauty) is most reliable in the kitchen. It is one of the very finest baking apples available because its firm texture retains its shape, and the flesh acquires a very rich flavour when cooked. When prepared in dishes from pies to pancakes, from sauces to baked apple desserts, Rome has proved a durable delight. These apples are harvested from late September through October, and can be found into the early winter months.
R
ed Delicious--
What can one say about the most recognizable apple in the industry? Its deep, red color and classic heart shape have helped make it the symbol of the American apple. For most of the 20th century, Red Delicious was the most popular variety in the United States. Newer varieties with more complex flavors have been eroding this variety's popularity in recent years.

Maintained by the Natl. Germplasm Repository - Corvallis. NPGS received: 01-Oct-1982. PI assigned: 1991. Inventory volume: 200. Life form: Perennial. Improvement status: Cultivar. Form received: Plant. Part of core subset. Winkler is the largest nut of any American hazel yet found. It was selected from the wild about 1910 by Wendell Williams of Danville, Iowa. It was later introduced in 1927 by the Snyder Bros. from Center Point, Iowa. Many growers noted that this cultivar should be tried by those interested in the native hazel. Winkler is a prolific bearer of large nuts. It is hardy, at least at temperatures as low as -30 F. It is popular in the east because it is highly resistant to eastern filbert blight. Because of its traits, Winkler has been widely used as a parent in a breeding process with Corylus avellana. http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/search.pl?accid=%20PI+557019

Lewis PI 617210
Corylus avellana L. BETULACEAE
Cultivar name: Lewis.
Developed in: Oregon, United States (Comment: The cross was made in 1981 by Dr. Maxine Thompson, OSU.)
Maintained by the Natl. Germplasm Repository - Corvallis. NPGS received: 24-Apr-1997. PI assigned: 2001. Inventory volume: 210. Life form: Perennial. Improvement status: Cultivar. Form received: In-vitro. 'Lewis' is precocious, and it is more productive and has a smaller tree size than 'Barcelona.' Harvest is earlier than 'Barcelona,' and the nuts have fewer defects. Tree growth habit: 'Lewis' is a 'grower-friendly' tree, with a good balance between vegetative and reproductive growth and can be managed much like a 'Barcelona.' Tree size is 75% of 'Barcelona' as measured by the trunk cross sectional area. Flowering characteristics: Female flowers bloom at the same time as 'Barcelona.' The incompatibility alleles are S3 S8. The recommended pollinizers are 'Tonda di Giffoni' and 'Hall's Giant.' Yield and yield efficiency: 'Lewis' has out-yielded 'Barcelona' in the first 4 bearing years and yields were similar in 1997. 'Lewis' is a more efficient nut producer than 'Barcelona' (i.e. yields are greater and tree size is smaller). More of the tree's resources are used to produce nuts and less to develop leaves and wood. Harvest time: Nut clusters contain 3-4 nuts. Nuts are freehusking and ready to harvest 5-7 days earlier than 'Barcelona.' Nut and kernel quality: 'Lewis' nuts are smaller than 'Barcelona.' Only 17% of the nuts had defects in 1997, compared to 28 percent for 'Barcelona.' Most defects in 'Lewis' are shriveled, poorl filled, or moldy nuts. In 1997, only I% of the nuts were blanks, 'Barcelona' had 8%. Kernel is 4-5% greater than 'Barcelona.' Raw kernels have very little fiber. Kernels blanch slightly better than 'Barcelona' and have good flavor and texture. Propagation: 'Lewis' is easy to propagate by the 'tie-off' method. Layers are well rooted and vigorous. Pest tolerance: A major strength is its tolerance to eastern filbert blight. Its tolerance to the pathogen is better than 'Willamette' and 'Hall' Giant.' Big bud mite tolerance is comparable to 'Casina.'

Japanese Walnut Juglans x bixbyi
The nuts have an oily texture. The husks are also used to make a yellowish dye. The very bold, decorative leaves make it an excellent ornamental tree for planting in parks and large gardens. Unlike the closely related and very similar North American Butternut, Japanese Walnut is resistant to the canker disease caused by the fungus Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum. This has led to its being planted as a replacement for Butternuts in North America. The two species hybridise readily; the resulting hybrid Juglans x bixbyi is also resistant to canker and is likewise planted as a replacement for Butternuts. Japanese Walnut is distinguished from Butternut by its larger leaves and round (not oval) nuts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Walnut
Heartnut Juglans ailantifolia cordiformis
An attractive and valuable nut tree, Heartnut features long, tropical-looking foliage and tasty, heart-shaped nuts. Heartnuts crack easily into whole and half pieces, and with their mild flavor, some compare them to cashews. Heartnut trees will grow slowly to 30 ft. in height and can begin bearing nuts when only 4-5 years old old. Seedling HEartnuts can bear nuts of various shapes. http://www.onegreenworld.com//index.php?cPath=2_316

Xanthoceras sorbifolium is also known as Chinese flowering chestnut because the fruits are three-valved and superficially resemble buckeyes.This plant was found by the Abbe David in 1868 in Northern China. Canon Ellacombe in his essay "In a Gloucestershire Garden" calls this the most beautiful flowering shrub of July (1893), but here in Iowa it starts flowering at the end of April or early May. http://www.bickarb.org/plantMonth/may_2005.html

1. Burdock (Chinko):
   
   1. Homeopathic: Burdock has been used for centuries as a blood purifier clearing the bhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdockloodstream of some toxins, and as a diuretic (helping rid the body of excess water by increasing urine output), and as a topical remedy for skin problems such as acne, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis.
   2. History: Burdock and Velcro

After taking his dog for a walk one day in the early 1940s, George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, became curious about the seeds of the burdock plant that had attached themselves to his clothes and to the dog's fur. Under a microscope, he looked closely at the hook-and-loop system that the seeds use to hitchhike on passing animals aiding seed dispersal, and he realised that the same approach could be used to join other things together. The result was Velcro.

1. Food: The taproot of young burdock plants can be harvested and eaten as a root vegetable. While generally out of favour in modern European cuisine, it remains popular in Asia, particularly in Japan where A. lappa (Greater burdock) is called gobō (牛蒡 or ゴボウ). Plants are cultivated for their slender roots, which can grow about 1 metre long and 2 cm across. Burdock root is very crisp and has a sweet, mild, and pungent flavour with a little muddy harshness that can be reduced by soaking julienne/shredded roots in water for five to ten minutes. Immature flower stalks may also be harvested in late spring, before flowers appear; the taste resembles that of artichoke, to which the burdock is related. A popular Japanese dish is kinpira gobō, julienned or shredded burdock root and carrot, braised with soy sauce, sugar, mirin and/or sake, and sesame oil; another is burdock makizushi (sushi filled with pickled burdock root rather than fish; the burdock root is often artificially coloured orange to resemble a carrot). In the second half of the 20th century, burdock achieved international recognition for its culinary use due to the increasing popularity of the macrobiotic diet, which advocates its consumption. It also contains a fair amount of gobō dietary fiber (GDF, 6g per 100g), calcium, potassium, amino acids,[3] and is also low calorie. It also contains polyphenols that causes darkened surface and muddy harshness by formation of tannin-iron complexes though the harshness shows excellent harmonization with pork in miso soup (tonjiru) and Japanese-style pilaf (takikomi gohan). Dandelion and burdock is a soft drink that has long been popular in the United Kingdom. Burdock is believed to be a galactagogue, a substance that increases lactation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdock
