The Stark Year Book 



for 1911 (Volume II.) 



is a practical, testimonialized, easy-to-understand text 



book for the planter of fruit trees or other products of 



the nurseryman. It is understandable both to the ex- 



* perienced and inexperienced alike. The information 



embodied within its covers is expert counsel, it is the boiled down essence of the knowledge 



and experience of the country's most successful orchardists and scientific horticulturists. 



Within its covers are thirty-one full-page illustrations of fruits and flowers in natural colors, 

 representing one hundred and sixty-five varieties and covering apple, crab apple, quince, pear, 

 peach, apricot, cherry, plum, grape, currant, raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, mulberry, dewberry, 

 clematis, and roses. The remaining eighty-eight pages are devoted to descriptions and records of 

 varieties and to information on all subjects directly related to fruit growing such as planting and 

 caring for an orchard, pruning, spraying, cultivation, cover crops, etc. 



Briefly, The Stark Year Book for 1911 is an encyclopedia of latest, dependable, horticultural 

 information, fully illustrated both in color and in black. 



Anyone interested in fruit or flower culture, will find The Stark Year Book for 191 1 of inestimable 

 value and totally different from any 

 previously issued nurseryman's literature; 

 different because it deals with the subject 

 from the standpoint of those who are 

 engaged in fruit growing commercially 

 and for home orchard purposes ; differ- 

 ent because it is as beautiful as it is 

 instructive; a book to be kept for fre- 

 quent reference and one that will adorn 

 the library table of any home.
