TKe AppleTrees that Made 
^land mmMael 
H ON. Franklin K. Lane, late Sec¬ 
retary 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 an acre!” 
This variety of apple tree has 
been rightly named “The Money 
Tree of American Orchards.” It is 
—the tree that brought Ed Mol- 
latt of Port Murray, N. J., $12.00 
per barrel, while Baldwins sold 
for $2.50 to $3.00 per barrel! 
—the tree that helped W. C. Curd 
become independent on $20.00 an 
acre land. It is the Stark Deli¬ 
cious that helped him get $26,000 
for his apples off those 110 acres 
last year! 
—the tree that was a big fac¬ 
tor in aiding G. F. Cadwell, 
Griggsville, 111., to get 10,000 
barrels from just 50 acres—a 
profit of $2,000 an acre! 
—the tree that has been a 
“Money Maker” for such shrewd, 
successful fruit growers as Chris.

In many sections, Stark Delicious was the only variety 
to bear crops this past season. 
For instance, the Louisville Eve. Post states: 
‘Charles Schindler, extensive fruit grower, 
Floyd Co., Ind., stated yesterday that half 
his apple crop was saved, the variety 
saved being Stark Delicious alone. He 
believes that this variety is the one to 
withstand the late frosts which oc¬ 
cur in Indiana. 
In our test orchards in many states both 
'Stark Delicious and Stark’s Golden Delicious 
bore, despite 3 frosts and 2 freezes this year. 
‘Stark Delicious can’t be beat,” writes J. H. McGee 
of Beaumont on Sept. 29th, 1921. “I had apples on 
them just harvested that weighed 1 lb. each. I 
picked one ton off of 4 trees, the finest I ever saw. 
The buyers all want Stark Delicious. They sure 
get the money!”

Stark’s Golden Delicious 
The remarkable habit of these trees of putting forth not only the ordinary 
truit spur blooms, but also lateral bloom-buds and terminal bloom-buds 
makes it a frost-dodger. We had bumper crops on our Stark’s Golden De¬ 
licious this year—and so had other growers, in Mo., Ky., Iowa, Ala., Ark., 
Mass., Ohio, Ill., Wash., Ore., etc.
