“A” is for Apple Shops Hundreds of different apple varieties have been grown successfully in Maine. Today, more than 100 are grown statewide, with commerical orchards offering as many as 30 varieties. Each one has different charac- teristics. The harvest season is extended with varieties that ripen at different stages of late summer through late autumn. Some apples are best for pies, others for applesauce, still others for jelly and cider. Some, of course, are best for eating fresh from the orchard. The average size of an apple orchard in Maine is 20 acres; some are smaller than one acre, and the largest grows apples on 320 acres. Find the following apple varieties in this word search puzzle: 1.
