The $5,000 Golden Apple 



America's Keenest Growers Are Planting 



Stark's Golden Delicious — the most deli- 

 ciously flavored yellow apple in the world. 



Superior to Grimes Golden in quality and 

 size and flavor. Keeps four months longer. 

 Fills the Grimes Golden demand long after 

 Grimes Golden is gone from the markets. 



We discovered the original Golden Deli- 

 cious tree several years ago. growing:, bear- 

 ing abundant crops of prize-size fruit, on a 

 barren West Virginia mountainside. We 

 bought this remarkable tree for $5.000.00 — 

 the record price for all time for a single 

 apple tree. 



We propagated young Golden Delicious 

 trees from the "wood" of this original tree 

 — and Stark's offered these trees to fruit 

 growers.

Clares: 



"AM the big apple buyers say it Is the 

 handsomest, showiest apple they have 

 ever seen! 



"The best apple I have ever tasted 

 since you introduced Stark De- 

 licious. Tree is hardy as Stark 

 Delicious and Wealthy. Sets an 

 apple for every blossom!" 

 Our advice to you is to plant Golden De- 

 licious this year. But — order quick — demand 

 is twice as great as the supply. Better 

 write today.
