GRAPE VINES— In order to carry out our policy of 

 furnishing only the BEST, we maintain a nursery 

 at Portland, N. Y., in the heart of the famous 

 Fredonia— Chautauqua Grape Belt, which produces 

 the finest vines grown in the U. S. We are head- 

 quarters for all the leading Commercial sorts. 



WARNING— We are sole owners of the names 

 Black Ben, Champion, Delicious, King David and 

 other leading commercial apples. Gold plum, Stark- 

 Star grape, etc., all of which are our Trade-Marks, 

 duly registered in the U. S. Patent Office under the 

 new law approved Feb. 20, 1905. Planters are 

 warned against infringers offering trees under these 

 names or trees claimed to be "just the same." We 

 offer the GENUINE at prices as low as GOOD trees 

 can be produced. Wise buyers will take no chances. 



STARK TREES SUCCEED 



WHERE OTHERS FAIL— 



BECAUSE, three generations of Stark Nursery- 

 men have made the production of the BEST trees 

 their life study, their life work; 



BECAUSE, Stark Trees are produced under an 

 exact science from the time the seed are selected 

 until the tree is delivered carefully packed for 

 transportation; 



BECAUSE, in selecting buds and scions only 

 healthy, vigorous, highly prolific trees of the best 

 strains are used as parentage; 



BECAUSE, a tree grown with all conditions 

 favorable has high vitality and will ^vithstand 

 climatic rigors and unfavorable soil even better than 

 the stunted weakling propagated in just such un- 

 congenial surroundings; 



BECAUSE, having eight nur- 

 series in five states, each sort 

 is grown under the most favor- 

 able conditions of soil and cli- 

 mate, resulting in hardy, 

 healthy, thrifty trees that LIVE 

 and BEAR; 



BECAUSE, we are constantly 

 on the watch, not only for 

 valuable new varieties of fruits, 

 but for the best strains as they 

 are developed. As soon as an 

 improved strain is found it is 

 propagated and the inferior 

 discarded; 



BECAUSE, only THE BEST 

 roots, scions, soil, location, 

 labor, cultivation, pruning, digging, storing and 

 packing enter into the production and handling of 

 Stark Trees. We ask for your orders 



BECAUSE, Stark Trees have given satisfaction 

 in every state and territory for 80 years, w^ith the 

 result that Stark Nurseries have constantly grow^n 

 (the only true test of merit) until they are now^ the 

 LARGEST IN THE WORLD. We are not "here 

 to-day and gone to-morrow." 



APPLE SEEDLINGS— We offer for the coming 

 season's trade several million that, owing to favor- 

 able season, are EXTRA FINE. They are Iowa 

 grown from Vermont seed and our own experience 

 has demonstrated that they are superior to all others 

 we have used. Also a fine lot of Catalpa, Black 

 Locust, Mahaleb Cherry, French and Japan Pear 

 Seedlings, Plum Stocks, etc., Vermont Apple Seed.
