Their crisp yet juicy texture and delicious, sweet or tart flavor make them the "good anytime" fruit. Food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food report that the early varieties have been on the market for several weeks now. The late or storage varieties becomne available a little later - somne starting about mid-September. In Ontario several varieties of storage apples are grown. The main ones to look for when buying Ontario-grown apples include the following. The Mlntosh apple is a well-known favorite. It's medium in size, globular in shape and deep red or striped with yellow spiashes on one side. Watch for it about mid to late September. Cortland is a large globular apple with a bright red striped appearance. It appears on the market around mid to late September. Red Delicious is an elongat- ed apple narrowing to a five-point base. It is a deep red-striped color and will be available in late October. Northern Spy is a large bright red-sfriped apple avail- able on the market in October. The following three new varieties are becoming popu- lar and will seen on the market more often. Idared is a large apple which is deep red with greenish yellow patches. Look for this one in October. Empire is a medium-dark red-striped apple. It is slightly oblong with numerous con- spicuous dots. It wiIl be available in November. Spartan is a medium round- conical apple. It has an intensive dark redl blush over faint stripes. It is ready for market in October. Ahl of these apples are good for both eating and cooking except Red Delicious and Spartan. The texture of both these varieties makes them better eating apples than cooking apples. r CHIVED CHEESE OMELET 1/ cup shredded Cheddar cheese 4 eggs 1/ cup water 1 tablespoon chives 1/ teaspoon sait Dash pepper 1 tablespoon butter Measure cheese before preparing omelet; set aside.
