 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. Moh. 17:365. 1875. 



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

 b.adly in dry weather. 

 Stark Early Elberta. i. 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 quality. On the grounds of this Station it seems to be identical with 

 Elberta.
