A single ripe red apple rests against a trunk furred with green moss, its glossy skin standing out against the dull bark. Apples have long been a staple of American orchards, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s growers shipped them in wooden crates decorated with bright printed labels, a tradition that made the fruit a familiar emblem of the farm. The picture is worth a closer look for the contrast it sets up between the cultivated fruit and the slow, wild growth of moss on the wood.
