Stark Tree^ Different 
Because They Are Produced by Different Me thods 
AS you hold a stark tree in your hand, balance it, look at it, you cannot help but 
know that it is a tree that has been grown ri^t - that it has had careful and 
scientific handling during the many months since the graft'for propagating was out 
from the scion orchard until it was dug from the nursery row by giant machine 
diggers with great power that goes deep in the ground beneath the tree and lifts 
it uninjured and with all its roots intact and xinbroken. 
And another thing - the parentage of that tree and of all Stark trees has been 
carefully watched. Each variety is grown from a RECORD-BEARING STRAIN - from a 
parent tree of known vigor, with a record of annual and heavy bearing of fruit of 
best size and color. 
You Con Have High Bred Trees 
Just as You Can Have High Bred Live Stock 
Every variety of fruit trees the Stark Nursery grows is propagated from the best 
strains. We scour the country for these immensely improved types - AND MOTHER 
TREES FOR PROPAGATION OF STARK TREES ARE SCATTERED ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES. 
Stark customers get the advantage of these greatly improved methods. We safe¬ 
guard the orchards of the United States by our sound plans of growing trees as 
they should be grown and working always to high types and superior strains. 
When you bi^y the trees you need for Spring 1937, you naturally want the best you 
can buy - you want trees with health and vigor - you want trees that will produce 
GOOD FRUIT AND PLENTY CP IT. After nearly 125 years of tree growing, the Stark 
Nursery knows how to produce - and DOES produce that kind of trees. 
Good Trees Soon Pay Dividends 
Poor Trees Are Liabilities 
Stark Trees are priced as low as we can afford, for Stark Trees produced as they 
are, cost more to grow than trees that might be grown by different and careless 
methods. Our suggestion is that you do not let the question of price sway you 
when you buy trees. A tree grown right is worth the price - a tree SOT grown 
right is a liability on your grounds. Don’t forget you are buying for a lifetime— 
so a few cents saved doesn’t mean much. START RIGHT AND YOUR BATTLE FOR A GOOD 
ORCHARD IS HALF WON - this applies to the man who is planting a market orchard 
and to the man who is planting a few trees in his back yard. 
Go over the catalog carefully. Read it with the knowledge that is was written by 
men who are striving to put into the homes of America the BEST FRUITS that can be 
grown - and incidentally to advise against many ordinary sorts that should no longer 
be planted - and against others of at least questionable value. 
Make out your order for Stark trees on the inclosed order blank - and mail it in 
the inclosed "postage paid envelope,” Let it come forward promptly so reservation 
of stock may be made while we have plenty. 
Cordial!
