Over Three Million Delicious Trees 
This Year, Result of Enormous Demand 
Last year some orders were unfilled. 
We were just as disappointed as our 
customers were who could not buy Stark’s 
Delicious trees. But this year over 3,100,- 
000 of Delicious alone have been propa¬ 
gated to fill the 1912 demand. And be¬ 
cause of this gigantic quantity we have 
been able to produce them at lower prices.

It is the best in quality of any apple I have 
so far tested.”

Stark Trees Grown in Soils of 6 States 
It is an indisputable fact that no one 
soil or climate will grow all kinds of 
trees to the height of perfection. Scien¬ 
tific men know this—every fruit grower 
should know it. And so, that every Stark 
Tree shall be as perfect as just the right 
soil and just the right climate and the 
most improved nursery methods can 
grow it, we have 8 great nurseries in 6 
different states. 
For instance, at our Dansville, N. Y., 
nursery the soil and climate is ideal for 
growing the world’s best sweet and sour 
cherry, pear, plum, quince, goosebeiry, 
currant, Norway maple, ornamentals, 
etc. At our Girard, Erie County, Pa., 
nursery conditions and soil are perfect 
for grape vine growing, and at this plant 
we produce a sensational value in grape 
vines with “roots a yard long.” Here we 
also produce remarkably fine gooseberry, 
currant, peach trees, etc. 
We could save tens of thousands of 
dollars each year by growing all kinds of 
Stark Trees at one place, but we could 
not offer you as perfect trees or as great 
value. 
Don’t make the fatal mistake of plant¬ 
ing trees of questionable quality. Plant 
Stark Trees, with their great 87-year 
reputation for dependability behind them.
