Papirovka
Papirovka ( pl, Papierówka) is a cold-resistant early-ripening apple (''Malus domestica'') cultivar grown across Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics. Along with Antonovka and others, it is one of five cultivars that comprise half of the apple production in the former USSR, and is one of the most popular early-summer varieties in Poland. It is prone to bruising, so it needs careful handling and storage. Papirovka apples have also been called early Paper apples or Polish paper apples. Some sources consider the papirovka to be identical to the White Transparent, but in Russia the two cultivars are considered distinct. Compared to the White Transparent, Papirovka apples are larger, more sour, and without any blush in their yellow-white color..

Chance Seedling
A chance seedling is a plant that is the product of unintentional breeding. Identifying the parent plants of a chance seedling may be difficult. It may be necessary to genetically analyse the seedling and surrounding plants to be sure. Plants that come from the artificial union of gametes from a maternal and paternal source are not chance seedlings. A chance seedling may be a genetically unique individual with desirable characteristics that is then intentionally bred. The Kindred Spirit Hybrid Oak and the Granny Smith, Wolf River, Lady Alice, Red Delicious, Gravenstein, Braeburn, Samarbehisht Chausa, Calville Blanc d'hiver, Belle de Boskoop and Baldwin apples are examples of varieties that started with chance seedlings that were selected and assigned cultivar status owing to their desirable properties.
