This Year When You buy Your Trees 
Buy BEST - Don’t Take C hances . 
You will receive by another cover a copy of the Big Wew Stark Book you asked 
for. 
This book is more than a catalog - it is a history of fruit varieties - a record 
of their action in orchards all over ikaerica - a record of the opinions of Fruit 
Experts from orchards and Experiment Stations everywhere - a record of the latest 
scientific plans for the propagation and growing of nursery trees and improved 
fruits - showing clearly the advanced ideas of Stark Nurserymen in the produc¬ 
tion of trees that insure orchard success. 
A Mistake At Ttie Beginning 
Can Never Be Corrected 
Don't make a mistake at the beginning. Nothing you can do in the future can cor-

Nearly 125 years of experience in tree growing and fruit growing goes into the 
propagation and growing of Stark trees, and many exclusive Stark methods are 
employed in producing the trees offered growers for their 1937 plantings.

ling root is used when planting in the nursery row. This insures a broad spreading 
system of roots, and a tree with strength and vigor. 
Stark Trees Are Not High in Price 
_J1 They Are HIGH UN QUALITY . 
Stark trees are grown in selected and suitable soils - and these Stark Nursery 
farms are scattered all over the country. We grow apple trees in a cer'ain favor¬ 
ed section - peach in another, plum, cherry, pear, grape vines, berry plants, etc. 
in other locations where conditions and soils produce the BEST. 
No soil - no ONE section that we have ever seen will properly produce all nursery 
products, and we wouldn’t think of trying to do it. Our great system of BRANCH
