[nafex] Re: Granny Smith apple origin
An article in an early Pomona reprinted in one of the "Pomona in
Reviews" stated that the cultiver Mrs. Smith of Sydney bought, from
the seed of which Granny Smith grew, was the old English
cultivar "French Crab" which is still in existence; I think that
Bultitude's book lists it. It is apparently well thought of by some
who know it.
