Apple Limb That 
Sold for $6,000.00! 
Nearly 15 years ago the newspapers, 
farm papers and magazines all over Amer¬ 
ica blazed forth with the announcement 
that— 
“Western Nursery Pays $6,000.00 for 
a limb of a New Jersey Apple Tree!” 
Because we have become known by lead¬ 
ing Horticulturists and Orchardists as the 
Nursery first to Discover and Introduce 
New and Better Fruits, we were immediate¬ 
ly swamped with thousands of inquiries. 
Even though our Nursery’s name was not 
mentioned in the news story that flashed 
across the country, well posted fruit lovers 
and fruit growers immediately leaped to 
the conclusion— 
“Stark Bro’s Is The ONLY Nurserj 
Progressive Enough To Do That!” 
The news that this limb bore a New 
DOUBLE-RED Delicious apple—a De¬ 
licious that is Red All Over in August, 
when regular Delicious is still green, so that 
this new apple can be picked early while 
still hard, crisp—in perfect condition to 
keep juicy until late Spring and never get 
dry or mealy (See Color Comparison Pho¬ 
tograph—Page 6).

This color photograph shows Mr. Mooc, 
the owner of the Stark Tree orchard in 
which we discovered the tree limb bearing 
the original Starking apple. 
It also shows his young son seated on the 
famous bud-sport limb. The father will use 
this $6,000.00 to put his boy through col¬ 
lege.
