STARR APPLE. 
An accidental seedling found in New Jersey, where it has fruited 
& number of years. Its very large size and handsome appearance at- 
tracted much attention and ready sale at 25 to 50 per cent. advance 
on the other best sorts at its season. The tree is a good healthy grower, 
comes to fruiting young, isan abundant and annual bearer. The fruit 
is very large, 11 to 12 inches around, showy, a pale green color, frequent- 
ly with handsome blush on sunny side; very early, being marketable 
15th to 20th of July, and will continue in good condition through Aug- 
ust and September, being an excellent shipper for so early an apple; 
pleasant sub-acid, a very superior cooking and very good eating apple. 
W.R. Ward, Supt. State Exhibit, World’s Fair, Chicago, Ill., says; ‘The 
Starr apples add much to the attractiveness of the fruit display. I am 
convinced, on account of its large size, handsome appearance and ex- 
cellent quality, it will prove a valuable addition to the list of early ap- 
ples.’”’ It has been illustrated by a number of horticultural journals, 
whose editors have spoken of it in the most flattering terms. 1l-year-old 
trees, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. Dormant buds, 50c. each; 3 for $1.25, postpaid.
