William P. Stark One-Year Apple Trees 
Few Eastern growers have planted 1-year-old trees, because there are only a few 
localities that can produce, season after season, 1-year-old trees of sufficient size and 
with large, heavy roots. Prof. Whitten, of the Missouri Experiment Station, says : 
“One-year-old trees are better, safer, more economical to plant.’’ Prof. F. <1. Sears, 
Massachusetts Agricultural College, says: “The 1-year tree costs less. Only thrift'/ 
trees are salable at one year. Trees can be hqaded at any desired height. Stand trans¬ 
planting better." That is why we especially want you to plant ten of our 1-year extra 
4-6 foot trees, the kind recommended by above authorities, and compare them with ten 
of the largest size 2-year XXX trees. Both are the best trees of their age, and will 
make you thriftier, faster growing, early bearing orchards anu save you money. 
William P. Stark’s Two-Year-Old Apple Trees 
If you prefer two-year-old trees, you can develop most symmetrical or¬ 
chard trees from these William I*. Stark trees. Our specially-grown two-year 
trees can he headed either low or medium. Trained in the nursery just as 
they should be trained in the orchard with a number of branches along the 
upper 14 to 10 inches. Scaffold limbs can be selected to avoid weak crotches. 
Main branches can he pruned to start at different heights and different direc¬ 
tions from the trunk (like spiral stair-case). This means longer lived trees, 
less subject to injury, and hear heavier crops without breaking, than those 
trained in usual nursery manner with all branches starting near the top. 
Note the unusual root-systems and high character of these trees.
