We are trying to recreate/restore one of the orchards belonging to Downer & Son’s Orchards in the 19th Century. Peaches cultivars seem to fade off a little faster than the apples as we have only been able to locate a handful of over 100 varieties that they list in their 1870 catalog. Ones that we know exist, but cant find Trees or scion wood to are the Lemon Cling, Heath Cling, and Oldmixon.
Does anyone have a source on these?
Thanks in advance,

Fruitwood Nursery had Old Mixon Free, I got a scion from them this year. I think they had the cling one too.
