National Apple Week

The state of Washington produces the vast majority of apples grown in the United States, and most are grown in the Yakima or Wenatchee valleys (or valleys tributary to Wenatchee such as the Okanogan Valley). Northern Pacific and Union Pacific competed for Yakima Valley traffic, but Great Northern had Wenatchee and its tributaries all to itself, so naturally the railroad promoted Wenatchee apples on many of its menus.

This menu was issued during National Apple Week, October 31-November 6, 1925. Nearly all of the items on the menu feature apples, though it is hard to imagine parents would accept an apple cobler, apple fritter, or baked apple with cream as an entrée followed by apple pie or apple pudding for dessert. The back cover has a helpful guide to fifteen apple varieties, about half of which are familiar today and half are rare.

This 1926 menu features apple blossoms but not in reference to National Apple Week or any particular items on the menu. The image of apple blossoms is surrounded by a semi-abstract pattern depicting a forest in bright colors that continues on the inside and back. Although this differs from Union Pacific’s Art Nouveau menus, I consider this to also be an Art Nouveau style. We’ll see similar Great Northern Art Nouveau menus in a few days.
