 or a mere point; skin thick, greenish-white, washed with deep red on the sunny side; flesh 

 white, rather soft, easily breaking down, sweet, insipid, with a tinge of bitter around the

 in Florida. 

 Stanwick Early York. i. Card. Man. 17:365. 1875. 



This is a productive variety but the fruit is small and not very attractive and drops 

 badly in dry weather. 

 Stark Early Elberta. 1. Stark Bros. Cat. 46, 47. 1914. 



Goldfinch. 2. Barnes Bros. Cat. 5. 1913. 



Stark Early Elberta was introduced by Stark Brothers, Louisiana, Missouri. The 

 variety first fruited with Dr. Sumner Gleason of Kaysville, Utah. It is a seedling of 

 Elberta and much like that variety but is said to ripen about a week earlier and to be hand- 

 somer and of better quahty. On the grounds of this Station it seems to be identical with 

 Elberta.
