Check out http://www.goodfruit.com/issues.php?article=335&issue=12 and you 
can find many chance seedlings that have been patented such as Ambrosia, 
Ginger Gold and Cameo to name a few.  Ginger Gold is a chance seedling that 
sprang up in Clyde Harvey's orchard and he named it after his wife, Ginger! 
It is a deliciously sweet golden that is a summer apple (ripening in mid - 
late August in Northern Illinois.
