But did vou know that some favorite appie- varieties which now thrive in Ontario's temperate climate were discovered by pure chance? Such is the story of the Ontario born and bied MclntoSh apple. Thanks to settier John'McIntosh, this juicy, crisp, midly sweet variety. is now a Canadian favorite> for eating fresh and balced ini pie&- Almost 200 years ago, McIntosh came upon' about 20 abandoned youn a pie trees while learing frad.He transpianted thom onto bis own land and later, with the help of a farmhand, saved the variety through pro)per gaton techniques The e1c tosh, apple thrived and became Ontario's dlaim to famne in the a-ppiy industry. The large,, red-striped Northern Spy, with 'its slightiyv tart taste and firmi, yeliowish flesh is perfect in desserts. This variety with. over 180 yers te its credit, originatedein New York at the far ofHran Chapin. Chapin, had eliminated the Spy as a Outdoor Inn a hardy variety and ieft it behind, so Rosweli Humphey, a relative, transpianted some sprouts and cared for them. After 12 te 15 years, the trees bore fruit. Had it not been for Humphrey's patience, the Northern Spy wouid not exist and be erjoyed by Ontarians today. Idared, solid bright red on the outside with firmn, white flesh on the inside, is a tart appie. whose quality improves in storage. Its origin was flot accidentai, but was deveioped about 50 years ago in Bioomfieid, New York, as a dual purpose fresh, market and processing apple.
