"Just for Students and Teachers!"

- "Apple Polishing"--The custom of "apple polishing" hails from little red school houses of yore. Young children, whose math skills were less than exemplary, sought to win their teacher's favor instead with a gift of a bright, shiny apple. Remember this song? "An apple for the teacher will always do the trick when you don't know your arithmetic."
- Apples are grown in every state in the continental United States, and are grown commercially in 36 states.
- About 2,500 known varieties of apples are grown in the United States, and more than 7,500 varieties are grown worldwide.

- The story that Newton discovered the law of gravity after watching an apple fall from a tree is probably backwards, thought to have evolved from his having used the apple's fall to illustrate the pull of gravity.
