GOLDEN DELICIOUS—Youngest 
Trade-Mark Registered 
$2400.00 Crop From 122 Young Trees 
Les Anderson of Pike Co., Illinois, planted 122 Golden Delicious 
trees on 2 Yz acres of his farm just 11 years ago. During the worst 
year of the Depression —when prices of everything were lowest 
in generations, HE PICKED A $2400.00 CASH CROP FROM 
THESE 122 YOUNG TREES —1,400 bushels of big, gloriously 
beautiful Golden Delicious apples that eager buyers purchased before 
the crop was ready for picking. 
He declares: —“I would have had to plant 266 acres of corn the same 
year to bring me the same money.” 
This year, the same 122 Golden Delicious trees on this 2}/£ acre patch of land 
will yield 2000 bushels of fancy quality Golden Delicious apples, which 
will sell quickly for $4000.00! 
If YOU have a few idle acres on YOUR farm, you will profit by following Mr. 
Anderson’s example and set out an orchard of Genuine Golden Delicious trees. 
No other crop will pay you so much money year after year as Golden 
Delicious trees. 
“Finest Flavor In The World!” 
No other yellow apple ever discovered even comparer 
with Golden Delicious in size, beauty and flavor. “It 
has all the savor of a crisp, perfect pear!’’, declared one 
of America’s greatest fruit authorities. 
It has become the National Favorite even though 
20 years ago it was unknown. Today Golden Delicious 
trees are being planted in every good orchard in the 
land and these big, glorious golden apples are to be 
found in all the principal fruit stores of America, where 
they always command the highest prices and make the 
largest sales. 
Furthermore, Golden Delicious trees are the Young¬ 
est Bearing Apple Trees ever discovered. Bore on 
2 year old trees in 33 states! Bears big crops every year 
—and yields more bushels of big, perfect, high-market- 
priced apples than ANY VARIETY EVER INTRO¬ 
DUCED IN OUR OVER A CENTURY OF PROG¬ 
RESS. 
Pre-eminently the LEADING STARK WORLD’S 
FAIR FRUIT!

eight years old. Began bearing at 3

over the U. S. A. they are bringing double and even treble the 
prices of other sorts.

May 8th, the St. Louis GLOBE DEMO¬ 
CRAT Market Report quoted these

iate date by dealers: — “APPLES— 
Illinois Golden Delicious, $3.00 to

Yorks, selected, $1.10 to $1.25; Ben 
Davis, $1 to $1.10.” etc.

tomers say it is the best apple of them 
all.— Win. R. Houk, Indiana.

crops, and the double premium price the fruit commands, insure the 
grower quick profits and big profits— yes, DOUBLE profit —com¬ 
pared with ordinary varieties. 
My Golden Delicious trees 8 years old 
have been bearing fruit since 2 years 
old. Have not missed a crop. I have

too highly.— Albert D. Bouland, Ky.
