Golden Queen was released by the Livingston Seed Co in 1882

So I'm not too sure about the story of sailers bringing varieties to Norway, especially Golden Queen.

Thanks for that info., Carolyn. I've sent a PM.
And yes, sailors brought back varieties of all sorts of things, and not only undesirable things, so they might well have brought Golden Queen seeds. The story is that Tante Cis got the seeds from Ansof Wyller Christophersen, who had an extensive herb garden, and lived in Tvedestrand, a town on the Southeast coast.
