John’s Apples

In this episode John tells a story about the apple trees he found in Ithaca, while he was researching Liberty Hyde Bailey this summer.
He shared it during the recording session in which John, Chad, and Kim discussed the archive.
The story didn’t fit into the Archives 1 podcast, but we loved it so much, we made it into a bonus track.

John kept a blog during his summer in the archives. You can read it here: https://medium.com/@johnlinstrom.
