APPLE ORCHARDS

IN MILFORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WE LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT OUR ABUNDANT
APPLE ORCHARDS WERE PLANTED BY JOHNNY APPLESEED. THOUGH THIS IS
A LEGEND, IT MIGHT HAVE SOME TRUTH, SINCE JOHNNY APPLESEED WAS
BORN AROUND LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS, WHICH IS NOT TOO FAR FROM
MILFORD.

Submitter comment: I LEARNED THIS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
