Apple, ‘Monmouth’

Design this card$13.00~~$18.00~~

A ripe Monmouth apple, striped red over gold, sits above its own cut half in Elsie E. Lower's 1910 watercolour for the US Department of Agriculture. Every tree of a named apple variety is grafted from a single lucky seedling, since an apple grown from a pip never matches its parent. For anyone who loves an orchard, a harvest or a well-painted fruit.

Add four of your own photos and your own words; we print the card in the US and post it for you.

From the US Department of Agriculture's fruit paintings / APPLE, 'MONMOUTH' / Malus domestica / There are thousands of named apples, and each began as one lucky seedling. An apple grown from a pip is never like its parent, so every tree of a variety is grafted from the first. / USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection, 1910 / Painted by Elsie E. Lower in 1910 for the US Department of Agriculture, to record a fruit grown in America.
