Actual Color and Size Stark IMPROVED LAMBERT Cherries 
See Page 20 for NEW Burbank Cherries 
Stark Improved Cherries 
Lambert Sweet. Dark Red. A huge early summer 
■ cherry of Ox-heart type. Extremely dark- 
red, solid-flesh, and of delightful quality—the great dark red cherry 
of the high-class fruit stand—AND OURS IS A SPECIAL HARDY 
STRAIN. \Ye propagate Stark Lambert from a selected Record-Bear¬ 
ing tree in a Missouri test orchard where it has not missed a crop for 
years—and where by comparison with many other strains it shows 
unquestioned superiority in size, hardiness and regular heavy bearing. 
Leads in size of fruit, gallons per tree—producing heavy crop after 
24 degrees below zero. These cherries are dark purplish red—almost 
jet black when full ripe; ships well and is of supreme quality. 
Montmorency King 
(Ordinaire.) Mid-Season. A Special Strain 
that cannot be too highly recommended for 
quality and quantity of fruit, hardiness and 
beauty of tree, and unfailing crops. Ripens a 
week after Early Richmond. Montmorency 
is the most widely planted of all tart cher¬ 
ries, but there is not one-half enough grown to supply 
the demand. The trees do not require much care, and 
produce immense crops. Montmorency Stark and 
Montmorency King are ideal for the market orchard, 
the home orchard and the small yard. 
Montmorency Sweet 
Mid-Season. A true Montmorency—not a 
sweet cherry—but less acid than any other 
Montmorency. Originated on our own 
grounds. 
Montmorency Monarch 
Mid-Season. From the Iowa Experiment 
Station—and because of its extra heavy 
bearing qualities we have continued to grow 
it and recommend it. 
Dyehouse 
“Earliest of All except 
Montearly ”—a week ear¬ 
lier than Richmond—larger, smaller seed. 
Montearly, Dyehouse, Montmorency Stark, 
Montlate and Suda Hardy, give excellent 
ripe cherries a whole month—they are the 
choicest of all tart cherries. 
Early Richmond about y a 
week later than Dyehouse and a week earlier than 
Montmorency. We prefer Dyehouse. 
I? rvirp I (Hybrid— H Sweet.) The 
tj est 0 f q ie Dukes. Ripe 
early—more sweet than Montmorency—but not a 
true sweet variety. More Dukes should be planted 
in the home orchard. 
narflV (Late.) Wherever a late 
OUOct ndray red tart cherry is wanted, 
Suda Hardy should always be planted. Extremely 
hardy and the fruit is produced in immense quan¬ 
tities. Ripe 10 days later than the Montmorencies— 
just when cherries are scarce. Introduced and sold 
only by Stark Bro’s. The best of the English Morello 
group of cherries. 
Black Tartarian Improved 
Sweet. Dark Red. The hardiest, most depend¬ 
able, most widely planted of all black sweet 
cherries. Ours are far and away the best 
strain of the well-known Black Tartarian— 
the famous Deacon-Mesel Strains. These 
strains are extra large, black heart-shaped, purplish- 
red fleshed, of wonderful quality. The Record-Bearing 
strain trees from which we propagated these strains 
stand in famous western cherry orchards. The owners 
report "These strains are 100 percent better than 
any other Black Tartarian I ever saw.” 
Cliffy Early Sweet. Dark Red. One of the most 
delicious large deep red sweet cherries— 
succeeds in all cherry sections. Our Record-Bearing 
strain is hardy and bears heavily. A favorite with 
orchardists and a money maker. 
(Royal Ann) Sweet. Yellow. A 
A i arge yellow late ripening sweet 
cherry that is largely grown everywhere. Ours is the 
best selected Record-Bearing strain.

vy HICI V CXI 1C Lies described above we 
offer New Burbank Cherries (page 20), also Governor 
Wood and Windsor. See Price List on Page 12.

plums. Originated by us. Our propagation 
from a Record-Bearing tree on our grounds. 
Best of all the Gages. Fruit large, juicy, 
greenish yellow, exquisite quality. Tree 
strong grower, bears immense crops. This 
glorious plum is not planted in the home orchards of 
America as largely as it should be. We recommend it

_ duction — a cross between 
Burbank (Japanese) and Robinson (Native). 
It is a variety that can always be depended 
on for a crop, tree large, thoroughly hardy, 
bears young and every year. It is a large 
glossy coral red plum with solid flesh and 
delicious quality. On the market it is pop¬ 
ular and holds up well—for home use it ranks 
with the best ones. Should be more largely 
planted.

__________ “Iron-clad hardy” red plum, 
possessing wonderful hardiness and thrifti¬ 
ness of tree, size, quality and beauty of fruit.

the best Record-Bearing tree propagated 
direct from Original Tree. Large, dark red 
plum with small pit, meaty yellow flesh, 
sweet and delicious. The money-making 
plum for the far north and everywhere. 
Gold (Trade-mark) Our $3000 Plum- — Mid-Season. Originated by 
______ Luther Burbank and introduced by us many years ago. It 
has made more friends among plum growers than any other plum 
ever introduced. Fruit is very large, clear semi-transparent golden 
yellow, later overspread with bright carmine blush, when fully ripe.

thrives on moderately dry, thin clay soils. We propagate from a heavy 
Record-Bearing strain. You can obtain Genuine Gold Plum trees

be—sweet and delicious. Tree hardy,

prunes and selected this as best, except 
New Burbank Prunes. Large dark blue, 
juicy, delicious. Largely grown in all 
prune growing communities.
