Better that future generations should know the taste of the original 
Hawkeye Delicious.  That apple is so different from the red types sold 
now it's hard to convince some people the red one is even related to 
the original type.

The other day Red Delicious apples were selling for 49 cents/lb at the

Red Delicious is headed for back-yard orchard production only, but I'm
wondering will eventually disappear completely?  Seems a strange sad 
thought
that future generations may never know the taste of a Red Delicious, 
even
though it's not that great (However, the current out of favor 
preference may
in part be due to oversaturation.  I wonder after we've had our fill of
Fujis, Galas, Honeycrisps, if we will yearn for a plain old sugary 
apple).
Just a thought.
