Ihe AppleTrees ikai Made 



HON. Franklin K. Lane, late Secre- 

 tary of the Interior, wrote: — 

 "Land in the Columbia Basin that I 

 could have bought for $1.25 an acre . 

 . . They have taken the Delicious 

 apple, cared for it, until now it makes 

 that land worth $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 

 per acre. 



This is "the dessert apple supreme" 

 — the apple sold for 25 and 50 cents 

 each in fine fruit markets! 



Stark Delicious apple trees helped 

 Buck Bro's, Elberfield, Ind., get $50,000 

 for one crop last year from 40 acres of 

 apple trees 



— the apple trees that brought Ed 



Mollatt of Port Murray, N. J., $12.00 

 per barrel, while Baldwins sold for 

 $2.50 to $3.00 per barrel— 



— the trees that enabled Kenneth 

 O. Clark of Pike Co., 111., to take four 

 acres of very ordinary land and clear 

 $5,400 from one crop of these big, 

 glorious, flashing red apples

Bears Crops Despite Frosts & Freezes 



In many sections. Stark Delicious (red) and Stark's 

 Golden Delicious (yellow) were the only varieties to bear 

 crops this past season. For instance, the Louisville, Eve. 

 Post, states "Chas. Schindler, extensive fruit 

 grower, Floyd Co., Ind., stated yesterday that 

 half of his apple crop was saved, the va- 

 riety saved being Stark Delicious 

 alone. He believes that this variety 

 is the one to withstand the late 

 frosts which occurred in Ind." 

 In our test orchards, both 

 Stark Delicious and 

 Stark's Golden Delicious 

 bore, despite 3 frosts and 

 2 freezes here at Louisiana, 

 [o., this year.

 King of Illinois" who has 

 planted thousands of 

 Stark Delicious, got 

 1,000 barrels apples 

 this year from his 

 Illinois orchards.

Plant Fruit Trees that have 

 3 Sets of Blooms — Defy Frost 



Stark's Golden Delicious 



The remarkable habit of these 



trees of putting forth not only the 



ordinary fruit spur blooms, but also 



lateral bloom-buds and terminal 



bloom-buds makes it often a frost 



dodger. We had good crops on our 



Stark's Golden Delicious this year — 

 and so had other growers in Mo., 

 Ky., Iowa, Ala., Ark., Mass., Ohio, 

 111., Wash., Ore., etc.
