THE APPLES OF NEW YORK

What's your favorite apple? McIntosh? Empire? Gala? Delicious? Paula Red? Cortland? Or perhaps you're a Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp or Jonagold person. Whatever your choice, now's the time to satisfy your apple appetite with choices freshly picked and sold at your favorite roadside stand or cider mill.

If your appetite is for reading and viewing illustrations of apples, however, just stop by the Bullis Room and ask one of our volunteers to show you this collection's two-volume The Apples of New York, by S. A. Beach, N. O. Booth, and O. M. Taylor. Both volumes were published in Albany in 1905 as part of a series of reports by the New York Agriculture Experiment Station. Between the covers are many pages of information about and illustrations of apples.

Who said you couldn't have your apples and eat them too?

(This collection also has volumes in this series on grapes, peaches, pears, and plums and volunteers would be happy to assist you with these, as well.)
