Ladies,

With a fine apple crop estimated at over 147 million boxes
shaping up, apple lovers have good cause to join in the annual
celebration of National Apple Week, October 7-
16.
It’s time to put apples on the shopping list
and to shop wisely and well for them.
How can you tell a top quality apple?
Apples, like many of Nature’s products, often
vary in quality. So if picking a good apple is a
puzzle for you, here’s some helpful information
from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Packaged apples are often labeled by grade,
as well as by variety. You can choose the grade
and variety that best suit your purpose and your
needs.
The U.S. grade names usually found on L
packaged apples are U.S. Extra Fancy, U.S. Doris Thomas

Picking The Right Apple
without realty trying
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 9,1971
1/
sauce; Gravenstein, Jonathan,
Grimes Golden, and the Yellow
Newtown have a tart or slightly
acid flavor.
For making baked apples;
Rome Beauty, Northern Spy,
Winesap, York Imperial, and
the Rhode Island Greening
(which is green) have the firm
flesh good for this purpose.
All-purpose apples: Stayman,
Jonathan, and Winesap are
good varieties to put in your
child’s lunch box and to make
pies or other desserts.
Apples are harvested from
mid-summer through October,
depending on the variety and
where they are grown.
Thanks to “controlled at
mosphere storage,” in which
temperature, humidity, and
gasses are all regulated, apples
are available year-round. But
they’re usually less expensive
when bought in season. So for
the sake of your food budget,
plan to use the different varie
ties in your area when they are
most plentiful. And choose the
grade that suits your needs.
This year, October will be the
month for plentiful apples, ac
cording to the experts who
make up USDA’s monthly Plen
tiful Foods List. Northeastern
apples will be especially abun
dant. So don’t forget those
apple-bobbing parties for Hal
loween!
For more information on
buying apples as well as other
fresh fruits, you can get a
single, free copy of the pamph
let “How to Buy Fresh Fruits”
(HG-141) by sending a post
card to the Lancaster County
Cooperative Extension Office,
