英语词汇mcintosh的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

McIntosh. Like many fruit varieties, the McIntosh apple was discovered accidentally. It is named after John McIntosh, an Ontario farmer, who found the late red apple in 1796 while clearing woodland in Dunclas County and was so impressed by it that he began to cultivate the variety. Today the Early McIntosh, one of the best early red apples, bears the same name, as does the Sweet McIntosh, regarded by many as the sweetest of all red varieties. The original McIntosh is still grown, however, a self-sterile type with whitish-yellow flesh and a superb though slightly acid taste. McIntosh apples ac- count for some 10 percent of apples grown in this country, but they constitute about 75 percent of the New England harvest and 50 percent of the New York State crop. Most connoisseurs rate them superior in taste to the Red and Golden Delicious apples that have become the dominant American varieties. See micah rood’s apple.
