<DIV>Last weekend I was just given a receipt written on a torn off piece of
paper dated 1854 in which Henderson Luelling (alternative spelling) was to
give 21 lbs. of apple seeds ??? to be delivered to Philip Foster in Eagle
Creek. I don't have the receipt in front of me so I'm not sure of the
intermediate person.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Marsha, I just wrote a short radio script for Jefferson
Public Radio's As It Was program about Henderson Lewelling and his two
brothers Seth and John. It is remarkabled that these three brothers
started the grafted frut tree industry in at least two states: Iowa and
Oregon, and perhaps in Central California as well. t</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4> The fact that both the Bing cherry (named
after Seth Lewelling's Manchurian</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>foreman and the Latham cherry (a sport that one of Seth's
workers developed aqfter a seedling from one of the Bing trees he had, is
remarkable. And that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>what we call the Royal Ann cherry actually is called a
Napoleon back east, but one of the Lewellings had forgotten thre name of the
cherry graft and named it the Royal Ann.--that too is a great story. Bob
Casebeer, Talent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4> By the way by the end of the 1860s large
orchards in Jackson County were developed and most likely all of the original
stock came from the Lewelling efforts. </FONT></DIV>

our upcoming DHS Class Reunion (or get-to-gether, by now), which
was<BR>> scheduled to be held in early May during Pioneer Days in The

Cherry Orchard. Yes,<BR>The<BR>> Dalles is noted for its Cherries! I do
recall my Grandmother's Bing<BR>Cherry<BR>> tree. Remember this Bing
Cherry was developed by the Lewellings, and<BR>they<BR>> brought
nursery stock in a wagon on the Oregon Trail in 1847. (The<BR>rest
of<BR>> Wasco County is known for its wheat lands -- my father would
grow<BR>small<BR>> plots of experimental wheat for the Wasco County
Agricultural Agent on<BR>our<BR>> Moore Family's BLM lands, along with
winter wheat as the money crop &<BR>other<BR>> grains such as oats
& barley for horse/cattle feed.)<BR>><BR>><BR>> I have hunted
