The Macoun (pronounced Ma-cown, Ma-coon or McCowan) is a cultivated variety of apples developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York.[1]: 109 Named after Canadian horticulturalist W. T. Macoun, it is a hybrid the McIntosh and Jersey Black.[2] Cross pollination was done in 1909[1]: 109 and the Macoun was commercially released in 1932.[3] It is suitable for dessert and for making apple cider, applesauce, and salads.[1]: 109 [3]
Although the patent application for the Honeycrisp apple stated that it was descended from Macoun crossed with Honeygold, genetic testing has disproved this.[4]
The price look-up code (PLU) or all sizes of Macoun apples is 3073.[5]
The Macoun ripens in late fall.[1]: 109 In New York, it is available from October through November.[3] The Macoun is a medium-size apple that has a waxy, smooth, and tough skin, covered with purplish red flushes and stripes. Its flesh is greenish-white, crisp, and juicy, but is easily bruised.[1]: 109
This variety is resistant to fire blight,[1]: 109 but susceptible to apple scab[6] and powdery mildew.[1]: 109 In humid regions, it is also vulnerable to frogeye leaf spot.[1]: 109

Price look-up codes, commonly called PLU codes, PLU numbers, PLUs, produce codes, or produce labels, are a system of numbers that uniquely identify bulk produce sold in grocery stores and supermarkets. The codes have been in use since 1990, and over 1,400 have been assigned. The codes are administered by the International Federation for Produce Standards (IFPS), a global coalition of fruit and vegetable associations that was formed in 2001 to introduce PLU numbers globally. Produce labeled with PLU codes eliminates the need for grocery store checkers and customers to visually identify different varieties, which can make check-out and inventory control easier, faster, and more accurate, something that is important when varieties of produce look similar, but have different prices, such as organic and conventional (non-organic) varieties.

The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practice managed by the Retail Council of Canada and endorsed by the Competition Bureau. It was introduced in June 2002 as Canadian retailers were in the midst of updating their point-of-sale systems with barcode readers to "foster consumer confidence" with the new systems. It provides consumers with compensation for items with an incorrectly scanned price. It was developed by the Retail Council of Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores (now Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association of Canada), the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers and the Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors.
The EAN-5 is a 5-digit European Article Number code, and is a supplement to the EAN-13 barcode used on books. It is used to give a suggestion for the price of the book. ISBN Encoding – Country and Currency Values Description
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
