Stark Bro’s Are the Oldest Nurseries in America—118 Years Old 
Golden Delicious That Has Amazed A theWorld! 
11-Year-Old Golden Delicious Tree in Mr. Chambers’ Orchard, Delaware Co., Ohio, bore 10 
% bushels Wonderful Apples. 
“Finest Flavored Apple 
in ALL the WORLD!” 
“Golden Delicious is the finest 
flavored apple in all the world.” 
It is a remarkably Large, Late 
Winter, Waxen-Golden Apple with 
a rich, alluring beauty that tempts 
the buyer and commands Record- 
Breaking High Prices on every 
market every year. A great com¬ 
mercial and family apple “ONCE 
TASTED, ALWAYS WANTED!” 
It is supreme as an eating apple — and 
perfection for cooking, canning and cider. 
Golden Delicious averages as large as Red 
Stark Delicious. A FAR SUPERIOR 
KEEPER to Grimes. It is a big, glossy, 
Golden Yellow apple, slightly conical in 
shape (somewhat like Stark Delicious), is 
blessed with a Rich, Creamy Yellow Flesh, 
suffused with a slight hint of Oranges— 
Crisp, Firm, with a Sparkling, Tangful 
Flavor much like that of a crisp, perfect 
Bartlett Pear. No apple ever known or 
grown has so instantly caught the public’s 
favor—BECAUSE OF FLAVOR! 
“BEARS When Apples Are 
Scarcest and Prices Highest” 
“Escapes All Spring Frosts” 
The remarkable record of Golden Deli¬ 
cious bearing year after year everywhere, 
in the face of frosts and weather conditions 
that reduce or ruin the crops of other 
varieties, is simply amazing. 
Here are just a few of the enthusiastic 
reports that are pouring in on us from 
delighted growers:— 
“This Spring 3 heavy frosts killed all my 
other varieties except Golden Delicious. 
They brought me 50 per cent more than 
others,” declares G. C. Roberts, Columbi¬ 
ana, Co., OHIO. “My heavy crop of Golden 
Del cious will be the ONLY apples I’ll 
harvest this year. All others very light,” 
states Kalalanta Orchards, Macon Co., 
N. CAR. “My Golden Delicious were the 
ONLY trees producing a crop this year. 
They bring me 100% MORE MONEY 
than my other vareties,” states Zaclc 
Hodson, Shelby Co., ILL. 
T HE American Fruit Growers, 
Inc., are the Largest Orchard- 
ists in the world (headquarters— 
Pittsburgh, Penn.). Their Wenatchee 
Regional Supervisor, Mr. Earl 
Barnhill, reports a wonderful 
Stark’s Golden Delicious crop for 
last year:— 
“We harvested 1220 (Twelve 
Hundred and Twenty) packed 
bushel boxes of Stark’s Golden 
Delicious apples from 130 trees 
on less than 2 acres. 
“We sold this crop for $5,583.00 
(Five Thousand, Five Hundred 
and Eighty Three Dollars) f.o.b. 
cars—an average of $4.57 per 
bushel!” 
This gave them a net income of 
$42.95 per tree—or nearly $3,000.00 
(Three Thousand Dollars) per acre! 
Mr. Barnhill further states:— 
“We have closely observed the 
Stark’s Golden Delicious variety for 
the past 5 years. Stark’s Golden 
Delicious is— 
“The Heaviest Bearing of All 
Commercial Varieties 
—even heavier than Rome Beauty, Black 
Ben or Ben Davis. The trees are strong and 
healthy, apparently quite frost-resistant 
and they bear a commercial load of 
high quality fruit on one-year wood, 
being the only variety that does this. The 
Apples never get mealy. We are partic¬ 
ularly pleased with the size and quality 
of the fruit. This big crop of 1220 bu. off 
130 trees was 71-8/10 per cent Extra Fancy 
46-4/10 per cent of the apples ran 64 apples 
to the bushel—or larger size.” 
Wonderful HARDY Tree 
Disease Resistant—Vigorous 
Bore at 2 yrs. old in 33 States 
Golden Delicious trees are amazingly 
vigorous, fast growers, do not blight and are 
wonderfully disease resistant. They possess 
the abounding vitality that makes them 
bear young and grow fast at the same time. 
Shape is ideal for modified leader type—requires 
little pruning. Limbs very strong—do not break 
under tremendous loads of fruit. Bear tremendous 
crops EVERY YEAR. Apples ripen late, hang well 
and do not drop. Often bears at 2 years old. 
Little Orchards Make More Money than Big Farms 
Pays Better than Cattle 
Raising or Grain Growing 
Adolph Luksdorf, Lane Co., OREGON, 
bought 10 acres, planted Stark Delicious, 
Stayman Winesap and Grimes—sold it just 
coming into bearing for 5y£ times amount 
he paid for it. He is now planning an orchard 
of 90 acres which he will plant to Stark 
Delicious (30 per cent), and Golden Deli¬ 
cious (30 per cent). He declares, “Orchard¬ 
ing pays better than either cattle raising or 
grain growing.” , 
More Profit in Apples 
Than in an Orange Grove 
Jas. Sharpe, former R. R. fireman and 
farmer, Morris Co., KANSAS, reports his 
leading Stark Tree varieties Stark Deli¬ 
cious, Jonathan, Grimes Golden and Wine- 
sap. He has sold about $15,000.00 worth of 
apples from 40 acres each year for 3 straight 
years—land bought for $150 an acre and 
now worth $500.00 per acre. He declares:— 
“There is more profit in a well-cared- 
for apple orchard than in a Florida 
orange grove!” 
Pays 10 Times as Much 
as Corn or Cotton Growing 
Arthur H. Thompson, Lee Co., ARKAN¬ 
SAS, formerly in cotton and lumber business, 
hasbeen raising fruit for ten years. His leading 
varieties are Stark Delicious, Stark King 
David, and Stayman Winesap. Also he has 
young Golden Delicious. Single Stark Deli¬ 
cious trees have yielded him 25 bushels in 
a year. He writes: “My orchard has paid 
me ten times more per acre than anything 
else, such as corn or cotton.”
