sowing seeds for a variety that tasted absolutely terrible

Is it even possible to predict the variety of apple tree grown from seed? I was under the impression that growing apples from seed was essentially a lottery, and all "good" apple varieties are propagated by cloning (cutting and grafting) an original plant that happened to produce tasty apples.

You are correct, and the "Apple-seed" is confusing. He didn't plant seeds, he started many plant nurseries, and propagated apple trees until the area was established, then moved onto another area. But to the layman, trees come from seeds, hence the name.
