Apple, ‘Lawver’
Pictures by Ellen Isham Schutt
A glossy red Lawver apple and its cut half, painted in watercolor by Ellen Isham Schutt in 1910 for the US Department of Agriculture. Lawver was a late apple prized because it kept through the winter, when cellar-stored apples were the only fresh fruit until spring. For someone who loves a classic, simple card.
