How many different types of apple is there?
“Why do we need so many different kinds of apples? Because there are so many different kinds of folks. A person has a right to gratify his legitimate tastes. If he wants 20 or 40 kinds of apples for his personal use, running from ‘Early Harvest’ to ‘Roxbury Russet’, he should be afforded the privilege….There is merit in variety itself. It provides more points of contact with life, and leads away from uniformity and monotony.” -Liberty Hyde Bailey in ‘The Apple Tree’, 1922 click this link.. http://www.naturalhub.com/grow_fruit_cul… it runs for 8 pages…
