The story is that the apple was discover ed in 1872 in the Jesse Hiatt orchard in Madison county, Iowa. Jesse Hiatt, great-uncle of the Hi atts here, and Mrs. Bunce, came to Iowa from Indiana in 1855. He start ed an orchard in due time, and in 1864 he bought and planted several Bellflower apple trees. One died down to the root, but put up a vigor ous sprout which he cut off several times, but it persisted until he final ly let it grow. Eight years later in 1872, the sprout had become a stalwart tree, bore its first fruit, apples of unus ual size, but of fine flavor. He chris tened the apple, Hawkeye, after the state of Iowa. In 1894 a nurseryman saw the fruit, contracted for the sole right of prop agation, renamed it Delicious, and secured the initial stock of cuttings from the mother tree. The introduc tion and popularizing of the fruit is said to have cost more than $700,000, but they are now sold everywhere.
