Apples for sale, 6th street, Portland, 1910. I wonder what varieties were popular here back then.

@davem, thank you for the great photo!
Here is a link with a partial answer on page 7. link
If I can figure out how, other than transcribing the list, I will try to post it. It's kind of funny, a book written in 1904 bemoans the loss of good old days when apples were so much better before that.

Thanks Daniel, that is a very interesting document! Imagine what it must have been like to grow apples before the pests and diseases showed up. And the demand/price for apples was sky high. I converted the $2.50 to today's dollars, that would be $69 - for one apple.
