Source for these apples?

Below are the apples that are on my wish list that I haven't been able to locate in any nurseries that ship to the US.

Most of them are British or European varieties and I probably will never get to see or taste half of them in my lifetime, but it's nice to have a wish list :)

Some names are attached to more than one apple, so I have put links to pics to avoid confusion.

If you know of a seller that lists one of these varieties, I would appreciate it if you would let me know.

Thanks,
-Nick

I have been trying to find this one for several years. So far, I've only been able to find the other apple with the same name.

We had the following at our 2003 Scion Exchange:

Claygate Pearmain, Akero, Holstein

I don't have a list from '04 or '05, so I can't tell you if there is a chance we will have them again. I will look around a few more places on the web for sources.

Nice apple pictures!

Dubyadee and Steven, thanks for the info.

After reading the info at Dave's Garden, I doubt that I will order from this company, though.
