Stearns Lothrop Davenport, has for many years been prominent among those in this country who seek to find and preserve living trees of the old apple varieties of the world. The editor of "Food Marketing in New England" tells about Davenport's efforts along this line in the Summer, 1969 issue of that publication.
Davenport, now 83 years of age, still maintains a collection, with the financial support of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, of some 100 old varieties of apples, gathered from wherever he could find them over the past 35 years or so. He has sold and shipped over 12,000 scions throughout the world. A list of available varieties may be obtained on request from the Worcester County Hort. Society, 30 Elm St., Worcester, Mass. 01608.
