The golden reward of a century's search. Queen 



all yellow apples. The greatest fruit development 



since Stark Delicious — master of all red apples,was 



^iven to fruit lovers by Stark Bro's Nurseries. 



Fruit lovers have long longed for a yellow 



apple combining delicious flavor, great 



size and young bearing, late keeping 



and hardy tree characteristics. "Golden 



Delicious" is the answer. Jos. Gerardi, 



the fruit expert, declares: "I foresee 



Golden Delicious 



the first choice of our orchards." The branch 

 shown at left, is a "top graft" inserted 18 months 

 before photo was taken. In 18 months that 

 graft grew and bore this fine crop of extra large 

 golden fruit! Nothing equal is recorded in all 

 our 102 years of history. 



This apple will prove a "treat" to every 

 family who plants it. Learn more about it —
