After many years of Scientific Investigation and the expenditure of many thousands of dollars 
searching orchards all over the United States, WE NOW OFFER TREES OF EACH AND 
EVERY VARIETY PROPAGATED FROM RECORD-BEARING STRAINS— trees that 
insure best type fruit and biggest profits. 
Our 118 Years' Experience has proved that trees grown from superior parents are far more 
satisfactory and more profitable. This cannot for a moment be doubted—and the grower, before 
he buys, should KNOW the facts. 
For a long time it has been observed that trees of the same variety, under the same growing 
conditions, will show different characteristics. Barren trees are found side by side with heavy 
bearing trees—planted at the same time, receiving the same care. Horticulturists agree that 
in many cases these inferior trees are the product of Degenerate and Inferior Strains. 
The NEW STARK PLAN OF PROPAGATION FROM RECORD-BEARING STRAIN 
TREES eliminates the possibility of degenerate strains. It has been proved definitely that such 
characteristics as additional color, annual bearing, younger bearing, etc., are inherited and 
passed on to succeeding generations of trees. The U. S. Government recognizes this fact—and 
marked variations may now be patented. 
To protect growers. Stark Bro’s. take the only safe course—our RECORD-BEARING Strain 
method is exp-ms've but SAFE and SURE —the best Orchard Insurance. All Stark fruit 
trees are NOW RECORD-BEARING Strains.
