FUJI
Wow!
What a great snacking apple! Fuji apples have
it all--super sweet, super juicy and super
crisp. This Japanese apple has American parents,
Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an antique
apple that goes back to Thomas Jefferson in
1793. We're glad this popular Japanese apple
is grown in New York now!

GALA
Another
apple made for kids is the Gala, a new variety
developed in New Zealand. It's got the mild
flavor that "picky eaters" prefer
and a striking bright yellow-red color that
attracts the eye!

HONEYCRISP
Sometimes
the name of an apple says it all. Honeycrisp
apples are honey sweet (with a touch of tart)
and amazingly crisp, some say "explosively
crisp." It's easy to see why this new
variety continues to grow in popularity since
its 1991 introduction in Minnesota. Supplies
are limited for now but more Honeycrisp trees
are being planted every year.

MCINTOSH
Nothing
evokes Fall better than the aromatic fragrance
of McIntosh apples. People have enjoyed this
apple since 1811 when John McIntosh discovered
the first seedling. McIntosh apples grow particularly
well in New York's cool climate!

PAULA
RED
If you like tart apples sink your teeth into
a Paula Red. It's one of our earliest varieties
and the first taste of fall for many apple lovers.
Check them out now because Paula Reds are only
available from late August into October!
