Here are the trees of Good Fortune for fruit 
growers. Stark Delicious (Red) and Stark’s 
Golden Delicious (Yellow) have triumphantly 
proven all our big crop claims. 
For years growers everywhere have poured in 
upon us reports of wonderfully rich Stark Deli¬ 
cious crops. These big, radiant red, exquisitely 
flavored apples are fortune makers for fruit 
growers everywhere. The trees are heavy and 
steady bearers, extremely hardy and renowned 
for their resistance against tree diseases and rust. 
The Wealth-Maker of Big-Profit Orchards 
In New York State we obtained these profit 
facts from E. F. Brontzmann & Son. who have 
orchards near Binghamton, N. Y.: “This year 
we picked the finest Stark Delicious I ever saw 
—in size from large to very large. We never ate 
apples of such fine flavor. We were offered $ 5.00 
per bushel—that's $15.00 per barrel—for our 
Stark Delicious before we ever picked theml’ 1 
“Most of my Stark Delicious trees picked from_25 to 
30 boxes. My gross returns for approximately 7 acres 
of Stark Delicious in 1919 lay between $17,000.00 and 
$18,000.00.”—Rev. T. H. Atkinson, Entiat, Wash.

Inly 1st, Golden Delicious apples (picked ‘last 
Fall) thoroughly crisp and juicy condition. 
Flavor was very sprightly, despite long-time 
storage and repeated handlings. I have never 
eaten an apple coming out of storage this late 
which retained so fully its normal crisp texture. 
It far outstrips Grimes Golden:
