Joseph Stayman (1817 to 1903) was an American horticulturist, born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, who was widely known among nineteenth-century horticulturalists in Kansas. He left medicine at an early age to specialize in horticultural research and experimentation, bought a nursery business in 1858 and moved to Kansas two years later. At his Leavenworth orchards, which held some 3,000 trees, he developed varieties of apples, strawberries and grapes, aiming to learn which suited the soil and climate of northeast Kansas, and he originated the Clyde strawberry and introduced the Stayman apple in 1866. With William Tanner he helped organize the Kansas State Horticultural Society in 1866 and was a founder and long-time secretary of the Leavenworth County Horticultural Society. His precise sketches of fruit varieties were given to the Smithsonian Institution.
