Hal-Berta Giant Trees Sold ONLY by Stark 
Our experts reported: “This peach is so marvelous that one must 
see this tree to, get a real idea of how beautiful and BIG peaches 
can be. Not a single small peach on entire tree. These peaches have 
developed huge size with very little moisture. If moisture had been 
normal, they would have been STILL BIGGER!” 
This wonderfully BIG peach has all the delicious flavor and 
melting tender flesh of J. Id. Hale (though ACTUALLY 30 Per Cent 
LARGER than Hale)—bears bumper crops like Elberta. 
Eye-witnesses of the behavior of the original Hal-Berta Giant 
Tree declare: “This 4-year-old tree bore 6 bushels—and half 
of these peaches WEIGHED NEARLY A POUND EACH! 
The tree began bearing when 2 years old.” 
This proved to be the Yellow Peach for Which We Had Been Searching 
for 15 Years!—A Yellow Freestone Peach to Follow J. H. Hale and 
Elberta —and lengthen the high-profit-season for growers. 
Hal-Berta Giant Peach Trees (Sold ONLY By Stark) are remarkably VIG¬ 
OROUS and HARDY. Young Hal-Berta Giant Trees came through 26 degrees 
below zero two winters ago—in fine shape where many Elberta and Hale trees 
were winter killed. 
This huge peach originated in the famous Markham Peach Orchard, 
in Clay Co., Ill. We sent experts to investigate this remarkable peach 
and the Original Hal-Berta Giant tree—and BOUGHT THE 
ORIGINAL HAL-BERTA GIANT TREE, PAYING THE 
HIGHEST PRICE EVER PAID FOR A PEACH TREE! 
STARK EARLY ELBERTA — Best of ALL Elbertas 
Introduced by Stark Bros— OBTAINABLE ONLY FROM 
STARK BRO’S —and acknowledged today as THE FINEST OF 
ALL ELBERTAS. The fruit is SUPREME IN SIZE, BEAUTY 
AND FLAVOR—superb golden yellow, blending into rich red on 
the sunny side—-luscious flesh full of nectar-sweet juice. Allures with 
its beauty, gratifies with its unexcelled quality and sells at top- 
market prices all over the land. Much LARGER THAN OLD 
ELBERTA —-decidedly better quality—not nearly so fuzzy—has 
smaller seed—with none of old Elberta’s coarseness, stringiness or 
bitterness. Colors ALL OVER before it softens, making it ideal for 
distant shipments. Actually has been shipped 11,509 mile's (two and 
three-quarters times across the U. S.) without an ounce of ice— 
and arrived in fine shape, “crisp and juicy to the last.” 
Stark Early Elberta was selected by us as the BEST ELBERTA of its season 
ONLY after 30 years of exacting tests of nearly 4,000,000 different varieties 
and strains of Elberta. 
Much Hardier Than Old Elberta 
Early Elberta has a very hardy North China type bloom. “Late frosts very 
severe here, but, my Stark Early Elberta peach trees bore a full crop— 
surest bearer ever grown,” reports Dr. E. L. Morris, Fayette Co., TENN. 
This is easily the best strain of Elberta Peach for every home orchardist to 
grow—and tiie most profitable for the commercial orchardist. 
J. H. Hale — Mid-Season Yellow Freestone 
Originated by Mr. J. H. Hale, “The Peach King.” Far surpasses 
old Elberta in size, color, texture, flavor and shipping ability. 
Mammoth size, vivid carmine over golden yellow—almost perfectly 
round—fuzzless, smooth as a glove. Flesh solid like a cling, yet 
melting, tender, exquisite flavor-—-free from grain and stringiness. 
Tree stocky grower, often bears at 2 years. Bear6 heavily and suited to wide 
range of soils and climates. Has proven its HARDINESS all across America. 
“J. H. Hale here BORE after 22 degrees below zero and came through with¬ 
out injury, while Elberta froze out. Very large fruit. Very vigorous, rapid growing 
tree. Will replace Elberta in future plantings. Both as a home orchard peach and 
as a commercial orchard profit makerl” declares N. P. Mead, Chelan Co., Wash. 
Southern Farming reports: “From 1 acre J. H. Hale trees, we harvested 
748 bushels— 1,500 baskets and 1,000 six-basket crates. They sold the next 
morning for 60 per cent higher than Elberta. THAT MEANT A $1,420.00 
PER ACRE CROP.”
