<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></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>

<BR><BR><BR>Jean Leaper:<BR>><BR>> A life long friend, who was in high

the Oregon Historical Society. As I was talking to her<BR>about<BR>> 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
Dalles,<BR>Wasco<BR>> County, Oregon, she mentioned her late husband's
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 Lewelling
