The Apple of His Eye 



The favored fruit of America. The apple to which 

 the people of state after state annually award the 

 j Blue Ribbon. The apple for which the commission 

 ? men, the retailers and consumers eagerly pay 



prices that apples never before brought — prices 

 two and three times higher than they will pay 

 for other apples. 



"Stark Delicious" 



\ — declared to be "The Finest Apple in All the World" 

 by Luther Burbank, "The Wizard of Horticulture."

 nurseries, produce enormous crops for owners of botl 

 home and commercial orchards everywhere.
