Apple trees normally bloom in spring, so a picture titled *Apple Blossoms in Autumn* raises an immediate question. The record does not say whether the title describes a late rebloom, a warm-season flush after an early frost, or simply a mislabel, and the scene should be read with that in mind. Apple growing was a common subject in American orchard photography, where blossom time was watched closely because a late frost could wipe out a season's crop. Pictures like this one often show how growers and rural communities measured the year by the orchard.
