Red Delicious
The Red Delicious is a clone of apple cultigen, now comprising more than 50 cultivars, recognized in Madison County, Iowa, United States, in 1880. As new cultivars with improved color and earlier harvestability have replaced the original cultivar in commercial orchards, the taste and texture of the harvested commodity have deteriorated, and many customers have begun to accept the 'Red Delicious' as being a markedly inferior tasting variety at the food market. Roger Yepsen notes some of its less desirable qualities, "The skin is thick and bitter and has to be chewed vigorously... this apple ranks close to the bottom when cooked... sold year round, so shop with skepticism. Delicious retains its cheerful good looks long after its flavor has departed." According to the US Apple Association website it is one of the fifteen most popular apple cultivars in the United States.
History
The 'Red Delicious' originated at an orchard in 1880 as "a round, blushed yellow fruit of surpassing sweetness".Stark Nurseries held a competition in 1892 to find an apple to replace the 'Ben Davis' apple. The winner was a red and yellow striped apple sent by Jesse Hiatt, a farmer in Peru, Iowa, who called it "Hawkeye". Stark Nurseries bought the rights from Hiatt, renamed the variety "Stark Delicious", and began propagating it. Another apple tree, later named the 'Golden Delicious', was also marketed by Stark Nurseries after it was purchased from a farmer in Clay County, West Virginia, in 1914; the 'Delicious' became the 'Red Delicious' as a retronym.

Want Me
by: Red DeliciousHe doesn't believe in anything
It's not given to him to believe
He never sleeps if he can help it
He doesn't waste time on such things
I saw his face and I lay awake
Waiting for him to see me
I followed him home and into his bed
And that's as close as I'll ever be
I do not have the key to get into his heart
It's shut away where I can't find it and I've torn this
place apart
I want you to want me, but do you want me?
I want you to love me, but you can't love me
When we're in the dark, our bodies speak
And he tells me everything he knows
But after a while, he goes away
I don't know where he goes
He never looks back, he won't get attached
It's at my own risk if I do
There must be a way to get him to stay
I only wish that I knew
He never led me to believe that he could care
Maybe I'm just looking for something that isn't even
there
I want you to want me, but do you want me?
I want you to love me, but you can't love me
You were the one for the moment, the night
You were on, you were strong, you were heat, you were
heavy
And now you are wrong, you are bringing me down
You are gone, you are not the one
You are not the one
I want you to want me, but do you want me?
