Heaviest Bearer of ALL Apples 
$2,947.50 Paid for 1 Car of Apples 
The N. Y. Produce News stated:—“At wholesale 
auction last week, Jos, Sicker (leading N. Y. apple 
buyer) paid $2,947.50 for one carload of Golden 
Delicious apples (only 736 bushel boxes)—unquestion¬ 
ably the highest price at which a car of apples has been 
sold! Mr. Sicker said the fancy fruit stores have been 
asking him for a big yellow apple that would retain its 
flavor and beauty after long storage (as these apples 
had, after being in storage about 6 months)’’. 
$3.50 Per Bu.—Wholesale Price in May 
Here’s amazing PROOF of the demand for Golden 
Delicious apples at big prices—even during the De¬ 
pression—the lowest apple price year since the Civil 
War. We quote directly from the Wholesale Market 
Price page of St. Louis Globe Democrat of May 8:— 
“APPLES—quantity prices paid by wholesalers— 
Illinois Golden Delicious, $3.00 to $3.50 bushel— 
Delicious, $1.50 to $1.90—Stayman Winesaps, $1.15 to 
$1.25—Yorks, selected, $1.10 to $1.25—Ben Davis, $1 
to $1.10.’’ 
$1140.00 Crop on 95 Trees, 5 Yrs. 
Just imagine JUST ONE ACRE of young 5-yr,-old Golden 
Delicious trees bringing $1,140.00 for a single crop in one of the 
worst apple years in generations! Mr. N. Y. Yates, of Knox Co., 
Indiana owns that orchard. He writes:— 
“I planted 95 Stark’s Golden Delicious trees 5 years ago. This 
year they produced 350 bushels. 270 bushels were Fancy and sold 
wholesale at $3.50 per bu. The other 80 bu. were clean, smooth 
fruit and out-sold my best Grimes Golden. While other varieties did 
not have much fruit after the spring freeze, the frost did not hurt 
my Golden Delicious. 
My sales averaged $12.00 per tree from these 5-yr.-old trees. 
They are very hardy trees, do not require much pruning, 
make a good growth each season and bear full crops young.” 
(NOTE—at $12.00 per tree means that these 95 young 5-yr.-old 
trees, on just one acre, brought $1140.00 in a single year.) 
People Go Wild Over Golden Delicious 
No market is one-half supplied with Golden Delicious. As people 
learn of its superb flavor, they will buy no others —and they demand 
them of their dealers. No other apple sells so readily or at such high 
prices. 
Most Satisfactory Orchard Trees 
From every standpoint Golden Delicious trees in’ the orchard are 
the most satisfactory of all varieties— Young bearing, annual bear¬ 
ing, heavy bearing, strong growth, hardy, frost, blight and disease 
resistant. Stand 43 ° Below Zero in Canada. 
Certainly an apple of highest rank. 
They set an apple for each blossom.—

—.4. H. Courtney, Ohio. 
Bear Good Crops Every Year—Never Fail 
Golden Delicious come through with big crops despite frosts, 
freezes, drouths or unfavorable conditions. They will bear more 
bushels of fruit every year through a period of years, than any other 
sort. No other apple compares with it in this respect. 
Golden Delicious have never missed a 
crop since they came into bearing. When 
1 plant more apples, they will be 100% 
Golden Delicious.— R. T. Poole, N. C.

hard freezes When blossoms were open. 
—IK II. Brake, Michigan. 
Freezes Do Not Stop Them 
Golden Delicious will stand more unfavorable weather, late 
frosts and severe freezes, than any other apple and still come 
through with a crop. Growers marvel at their heavy annual bearing. 
Almost in a class with Wealthy in 
hardiness, vigor and healthy growth. 
—John Robertson, S. Dakota.

Golden Delicious were blooming. Some
