McIntosh red 
Winter A pple. Stark Record-Bearing Strain, Our prop¬ 
agation of this great hardy apple is from a special tree 
in the orchard of A. E. Jansen, the McIntosh King of 
Ulster Co., N. Y. In 1919 it bore 51 bushels; 1920, 24 
bushels; 1921, 49J^ bushels and in 1922, 27 bushels. 
This superior improved strain adds tremendously to the 
value of the old McIntosh from every standpoint and 
we urge every planter of this apple to use the trees 
grown direct through this marvelous tree. McIntosh is 
a beautiful apple, uniform in size, attractive crimson 
color with crisp delicate aromatic flesh that is almost 
snow white. The tree is long lived, extremely hardy, is a 
strong grower and bears young. In all northern orchards 
where hardiness is considered this improved strain of 
McIntosh should be largely planted. 
“Double Red” Rome Beauty 
Winter Apple. This magnificent apple is an improved 
Record-Bearing strain from a tree in the orchard of U.T. 
Cox, Lawrence Co., Ohio. This dark red strain colors 
deep solid red clear to the stem and to the calyx. One 
of the most beautiful apples we have ever seen, far and 
away ahead of the old Rome Beauty and sells at better 
prices. It is a young bearer, late bloomer, bears regularly and 
heavily even when others fall. If the Rome Beauty orchards in 
this country were planted to this great improved strain, their 
value would be tremendously enhanced. Resembles, but is darker 
red than Color Picture of McIntosh on left.

Dallaria. Bearing Banana Tree on 
grounds of Ohio Exp. Sta. that had averaged

agated from Original Tree discovered in New 
Hampshire. Colors earlier than regular Bald¬ 
win. Will Sell At Far Higher Prices. 
Rlar*L" Ron Deep blood-red—-no 
oen stapes. Far better in 
every way than Gano, Ben Davis or any of 
this type. We introduced Black Ben over 30 
years ago and while it is not of highest qual¬ 
ity, its marvelous beauty insures much better 
prices. No red apple tree will bear more 
bushels of fruit than Stark Record-Bearing 
Strain Black Ben. A perfect keeper both in 
cellar and storage. Never scalds, 
p" .§.1 J A superior cross between

Both N. W. and R. I. good in quality and 
excellent for cooking. Our N. W. Greening 
Record-Bearing Parent Tree at Ohio Exp. 
Sta. averaged 22.7 bushels over period of 
14 years. Our R. I. Parent Tree has won¬ 
derful long bearing record. Very hardy. 
Giant Jeniton ouSeSdJe'niton' 
and the largest apple of this type. Our propa¬ 
gation is from the original tree on the grounds 
of J. W. Johnson, Lewis Co., Mo. Red 
striped, juicy, tart, delightful flavor, makes 
best cider, a late bloomer, hardy, sure bearer.

—A true Northern Spy, but far deeper solid 
red color. Propagated direct from Original 
Bud-Sport found in New York. Better color 
Senator 
Red York Imperial i^bearlr 
of richer red fruit than old York—brings 
better prices on the markets. Our propaga¬ 
tion is all from Original Tree discovered by 
us in Virginia. A money maker for growers 
who want a “barrel filler”—especially in 
sections where Yorks are popular. 
{Trade-Mark). Introduced 
by us 30 years ago. A beauti¬ 
ful cherry red apple of good size and of 
unique, superior quality—few apples have 
better dessert qualities than Senator and 
few apples are more beautiful. Our propa¬ 
gation is from a Record-Bearing tree close 
to the original. 
StaymanWinesap 
Strain. Our propagation of Stayman Wine- 
sap isfrom a magnificent tree from an orchard • 
in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, se¬ 
lected because of high color, mammoth fruit 
and splendid tree characteristics. Stayman 
has made money for growers all over Amer¬ 
ica. However, the advent and introduction 
of Staymared which is a solid red bud sport 
of Stayman, has caused a slowing up in its 
planting commercially and the wise growers 
will plant Staymared instead. The fruit of 
Stayman is large and beautiful, quality de¬ 
lightful, flesh crisp, juicy with a mild pleasing 
acidity and spicy flavor. Grown everywhere 
and with profit. Staymared, however, of far 
more value. 
Stark Virginia Strain. We 
^ inCsap ofYer a special strain of great 
value. The original tree stands in a Winesap 
orchard in the Shenandoah Valley of Vir¬ 
ginia that has produced tremendous crops 
regularly and extra size and extra color fruit.

P {“Gilbert"—Stark Record- 
1 arag(On Bearing Strain.) This is un¬ 
questionably the best apple of the Mam¬ 
moth Black Twig group. Some growers have 
called it “The Glorified Winesap” and 
the name fits it for Paragon has many charac¬ 
teristics of Winesap but averages 50% larger. 
It is a deep solid red apple, very firm flesh, 
mild in flavor and of superb quality. Keeps 
until late and does not scald in storage. The 
tree grows to a great size, is long lived and 
bears well. Our propagation is from a heavy, 
young bearing tree selected because of extra 
high color on fruit. Far more valuable than 
old Mammoth Black Twig. We consider it 
the best apple of the Winesap type with the 
exception of the Stayman Winesap and 
Staymared. 
“I have a Paragon tree yielding good crops every 
year for nearly 30 years. I have over 100 Stark Strain 
Paragon trees. For late keeping, it is my choice.”— 
Jos. Gerardi, St. Clair Co., Ill. 
“Our choice for a money maker and market apple 
is Paragon. For bearing every year, large and even 
size apples, uniform, high color, we do not think 
the Paragon has an equal.”—A. M. Bowman, 
Roanoke Co., Va. 
Mammoth Black Twig 
{Improved Gilbert Strain). Far better than 
old Mammoth Black Twig. Fruit and tree 
like Paragon, which we prefer. 
STARK CRAB APPLES 
Stark Florence 
The best red 
jelly Crab. A 
beautiful ornamental tree as well as a very 
valuable fruit tree. Florence was introduced 
by us and has been grown in this nursery for 
many years. Our propagation is from a 
parent tree with a tremendous bearing rec¬ 
ord, making the variety far more valuable. 
Stark Gold 
of this strain assures growers better prices. 
Popular in New England and North.
