Creston & Fortune Apples
Both of these sacks are at Horse Listener Orchard in Ashford, Connecticut. It's a nice off the beaten path new orchard.
Both of these varieties are quite new. The Creston came out in about 1998. It's a mix of Golden Delicious and a nameless test apple NJ 381049. It's similar to Jobnagold but firmer. Fortune was developed in 1997 It's a cross between a Red Spy (aka Schoharie Spy) and a Empire.

Sojo
so·journ (sjûrn, s-jûrn) n. To reside temporarily; a brief period of residence.
Dates to the late 13th century from Old French sojorner "stay or dwell for a time.
In this case a travel guide for that quiet nook on the Hudson River south of Poughkeepsie and north of New York City. It's apple country, and they are certainly in season. http://www.hvnet.com/features/bounty_apples.htm
