 Fruit Quickly 



MOST people think trees bear 

 fruit when they reach a certain 

 AGE. That isn't so. They bear 

 fruit when they reach a certain 

 stage of development. 



Stark City trees reach that stage earlier 

 than average stock, because both roots 

 and tops are trained for quick develop- 

 ment. Stark City propagation methods, 

 aided by a rare combination of soil and 

 climate, produce extra heavy, vigorous 

 rooted trees that establish themselves 

 quickly and grow steadily. Stark City 

 tops are specially trained from the seed- 

 ling stage, so that you lose no time in 

 re-shaping them after planting. 



Read what growers say: 



"The trees I bought of you made as much pro- 

 gress in one year' as trees which came from 

 another nursery made in 3 years." Henning 

 Chambers, Kentucky. 



"Your trees started right off and are much larger 

 than some I had out three years." W. W. Wood- 

 ruff, Penna. 



"We were delighted with the peaches we gath- 

 ered from our trees, planted only 16 months ago." 

 Jos. Bachman, Ark. 



Stark City Trees 

 are Guaranteed 



— to reach you in prime condition, 



to be true to name; and to live 



and make good growth. 



We sell direct from nursery — no agents or other 

 middlemen. This is the only way you could be 

 sure of getting Stark City stock. Don't put off 

 planting; you'll surely regret it later if you do.
