History Notes

Turley Apples were found in an orchard belonging to a Joe A. Burton (1841-1925) in Lawrence County, Indiana, USA in 1900.

Turley was the maiden name of his wife, Louisa (1844 -1929), and the name given to their son Turley J. (1874 -1945.)

Burton was a hortoculturist, planting as many as 8,000 seeds in his experiments. The family tombstone has at its head an engraving of an apple hanging off a branch.

Turley Apples were popular in the early part of the 1900s because they stood up very well to shipping.
