A Book 



that is different 



THE STARK YEAR BOOK 



IS UNLIKE OTHER NURSERY LITERATURE 



SINCE THE STARK YEAR BOOK for 191 1 (Volume II) was first announced in these pages 

 the pressure of matter has increased the size from 100 to 120 pages; the number of full page illus- 

 trations in natural colors has been increased from 23 to 31, a showing of 165 varieties of fruit and 

 flowers instead of 113. The color work is now most comprehensive, carrying apple, crabapple, quince, 

 pear, peach, apricot, cherry, plum, grape, currant, blackberry, gooseberry, mulberry, dewberry, clematis 

 and roses. 



These additions to The Stark Year Book have quite naturally delayed its date of issue a trifle — 

 from January 15th to February ist — but its readers will be well repaid for the slight delay. More 

 than ever, The Year Book becomes a complete volume of the most helpful and practical guidance to 

 the orchardist and fruit grower. 



Two special features of The Stark Year Book deserve special mention. Where practicable, we 

 have appended to our own descriptions, made from first-hand experience and close observation, the 

 experience and observation of many other horticulturists. We have thus hoped to give to them that 

 degree of definiteness and accuracy which is possible only when a description stands side by side with 

 the weightiest possible evidence in support thereof. 



We have also tried earnestly to meet many 



another practical difficulty of the beginner as well 

 as of the more experienced — in a word, af¥ord him 

 the opportunity of getting what will be the best of 

 all aids to success — a condensed knowledge of the 

 whole subject. 



If you have not already sent for your copy of 

 The Stark Year Book for 191 1 do so at once — fill 

 in and send us the coupon today. Postage 10 

 cents. The demand for Volume II is tremendous ; 

 the edition is limited, and probably will not be 

 reprinted when exhausted.
