BETTER FRUIT 



January 



The Stark Year Book 



For 1911 



VOLUME II of The Stark Year Book (published annually) is nearing completion and will be ready 

 for mailing January 15. Because of the limited edition and its high cost, copies will be sent only 

 to those who appl)^ for it on the coupon printed elsewhere on this page. 



The Stark Year Book for 191 1 is best described briefly — it is an encyclopedia of latest horticultural 

 information, fully illustrated both in color and in black. 



While issued in our interests and the nursery products grown b)^ us, The Stark Year Book covers 

 a greater field and is much wider in scope than the ordinary nurseryman's catalogue, since it deals with 

 the subject of horticulture from the viewpoint of those who are engaged in fruit-growing commercially 

 or for home orchard purposes. 



Within its covers are twenty-three full page illustrations of fruits and flowers in natural color, 

 representing one hundred and thirteen varieties and covering apple, cherry, pear, peach, plum, grape, 

 small fruits, and roses. 



Eighty pages are devoted to descriptions, records of varieties, and the opinions of the country's 

 most successful orchardists and scientific horticulturists. These eighty pages are profusely illustrated 

 from photographs having a direct bearing on the subject matter. 



Practical information covering the many problems of tree culture and orchard care is scattered 

 throughout the pages of this book — information representing the meat of the experience and reseach 

 work of the country's most successful orchardists and best known horticulturists. This feature of 

 The Stark Year Book may be considered authoritative, and accepted as a safe guide. 



Anyone interested in fruit or flower culture will find 

 Volume II. of the Stark Year Book of inestimable 

 value; a book to be kept for frequent reference, and 

 one that will adorn the library table of any home. 

 Those persons possessing a copy of Volume I. (1910) 

 should not fail to apply immediately for Volume II. 

 that their file may be kept complete. 



The Stark Year Book for 1911 will be sent to any 

 interested persori on receipt of the coupon properly 

 filled in. Postage, 10 cents.
