Lane’s Prince Albert apples; a culinary variety raised before 1841 by Thomas Squire and introduced by nurseryman John Lane c 1850
I am researching the Lanes who were nurserymen in Berkhamsted (c1780-1960) and competed against Paul, Bunyard, Laxton et al through the 19th and early 20th centuries. Have you come across Henry Lane, John Edward Lane, or even Frederick Quincey Lane in your researches? If so I would like to hear from you. Thank you and happy wassailing.
