Stark's Golden 
Delicious 
Average Size 
A. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., 
broke down in health and retired from 
the grocery business with only $3,000 
“to his name"—at 65 years of age. 
He secured a little “patch” of rough 
land at a low price—and then cleared 
it himself, all alone. He wrote us about 
what kind of an orchard “to put out.” 
We told him what variety of fruit trees 
to plant—and how to care for them. 
He says that at that time he “didn’t 
know an apple tree from a peach.” 
Today—21 years later—Mr. Johnson 
is the owner of as fine a 40-acre or¬ 
chard as Oregon can boast. His is one 
of the “show orchards” of the famous Rogue 
River Valley Orchard District. HIS GROSS 
INCOME FROM HIS 40 ACRES OF AM- 
STARK TREES IN 1921 ALONE WAS A 
$13,000. He recently refused $40,000 cash 
for this 40-acre orchard tract near Ash- 
land, Ore. 
At 86 years of age he is in sound health 
and financially independent. We say 
that it was his grit that enabled him to 
do all this. He says, “It was Stark Trees 
—and Stark Bro’s orchard advice.” 
He is one of the tens of thousands of 
fruit growers, farmers and home own¬ 
ers who are praising and planting the 
tree that is now called 
The Yellow Apple Tree That Has 
“As Many Lives as a Cat”— 
Bore Apples in 1921 in 30 States—Despite Killing Frosts 
There were 3 hard frosts and 2 ruinous 
freezes in the late spring of 1921. They swept 
through many states just' after an extra warm 
March and April had brought forth the tender 
fruit blooms. This was the worst spring for 
fruit in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. 
Hut—there is one variety of apple tree that 
produced good crops of fine apples after the 
frosts, because of its frost-dodging blooming 
habit. Stark’s Golden Delicious trees bloom 3 
different times. First—the blooms of the or¬ 
dinary fruit spurs—and next, the lateral blooin- 
buds—and then, the terminal bloom-buds. Two 
sets of blooms can be killed by frost—and the 
third will produce an abundance of fruit. 
This year (1921) we had good crops of Stark's 
Golden Delicious apples here in our Test- 
Orchards, just because of this remarkable .3 
times blooming habit—and so had growers in 
Ky., Iowa, Ala., Ark., Cal., Mo., Mass., Ohio, 
111., Wash., Ore., etc. 
For instance, D. Armentrout, DeWitt, Iowa, 
writes: “My 2-yr.-old Stark’s Golden Delicious 
tree bore 13 apples after going through the ter¬ 
rific freezes and frost of last May, which killed 
all my crop-prospects on all my other fruit 
trees.” 
Coupled with the remarkable performance of 
the Stark's Golden Delicious trees this year, is 
that of its team-mate.

In many sections Stark Delicious was the only 
variety to bear crops this past season. 
For instance, the Louisville Fveiling Dost states: 
“Charles Schindler, extensive fruit grower, Floyd 
Co., Ind., stated yesterday that half his apple 
crop was saved, the variety saved being Stark De¬ 
lirious alone. He believes that this variety is the 
one to withstand the lute frosts which occurred 
in Indiana.” 
in our test orchards in many States, both Stark 
Delicious and Stark’s Golden Delicious Imre, de¬ 
spite 8 frosts and 2 freezes this year. 
“Stark Delicious can't lie beat,” writes j. )T. 
McGee, of Beaumont, on Sept. 2!*. 1921. "I had 
apples on them just harvested that weighed 1 lb. 
each. I picked one ton off of four trees—the 
finest I ever saw. The buyers nil want Stark 
Delicious. They sure get the money.'"
