“The Illustrated History of Apples in the United States and Canada” is a seven-volume set with description of all apples found in North American publications through 2000. The information will have immense importance to any pomology researcher, but the more casual reader will find pleasure in the beautiful images: 1,400 watercolors created by artists employed by the United States Department of Agriculture from 1886-1942.
Excerpted from the Summer 2018 Arboretum Bulletin.
