Summary:

"In the 1800s a migrant farmer named Maria Ann Smith worked as an apple orchardist. Her discovery of a new type of apple that never turned red, but was always green, tart, sweet, and perfect for a pie, was due part to a fluke of natur, and part to Maria's insight and determination. The beloved Granny Smith apple that we know today was named in her honor. This is her story."-- Provided by publisher.
