Heaviest Bearer of ALL Apples 
“I planted 95 Stark’s Golden Delicious trees 5 years ago. This 
year they produced 350 bushels. 270 bushels were Fancy and sold 
wholesale at $3.50 per bu. The other 80 bu. were clean, smooth 
fruit and out-sold my best Grimes Golden. While other varieties did 
not have much fruit after the spring freeze, the frost did not hurt 
my Golden Delicious. 
My sales averaged $12.00 per tree from these 5-yr.-old trees. 
They are very hardy trees, do not require much pruning, 
make a good growth each season and bear full crops young.” 
(NOTE—at $12.00 per tree means that these 95 young 5-yr.-old 
trees, on just one acre, brought $1140.00 in a single year.) 
$2,947.50 Paid for 1 Car of Apples 
The N. Y. Produce News stated: — “At wholesale 
auction last week, Jos. Sicker (leading N. Y. apple 
buyer) paid $2,947.50 for one carload of Golden 
Delicious apples (only 736 bushel boxes) — unquestion¬ 
ably the highest price at which a car of apples has been 
sold! Mr. Sicker said the fancy fruit stores have been 
asking him for a big yellow apple that would retain its 
flavor and beauty after long storage (as these apples 
had, after being in storage about 6 months)”. 
$3.50 Per Bu. —Wholesale Price in May 
Here’s amazing PROOF of the demand for Golden 
Delicious apples at big prices—even during the De¬ 
pression—the lowest apple price year since the Civil 
War. We quote directly from the Wholesale Market 
Price page of St. Louis Globe Democrat of May 8: — 
“APPLES — quantity prices paid by wholesalers —- 
Illinois Golden Delicious, $3.00 to $3.50 bushel — 
Delicious, $1.50 to $1.90—Stayman Winesaps, $1.15 to 
$1.25 — Yorks, selected, $1.10 to $1.25 — Ben Davis, $1 
to $1.10." 
$1140.00 Crop on 95 Trees, 5 Yrs. Old 
Just imagine JUST ONE ACRE of young 5-yr.-old Golden 
Delicious trees bringing $1,140.00 for a single crop in one of the 
worst apple years in generations! Mr. N. Y. Yates, of Knox Co., 
Indiana owns that orchard. He writes:— 
People Go Wild Over Golden Delicious 
No market is one-half supplied with Golden Delicious. As people 
learn of its superb flavor, they will buy no others —and they demand 
them of their dealers. No other apple sells so readily or at such high 
prices. 
Most Satisfactory Orchard Trees 
From every standpoint Golden Delicious trees in the orchard are 
the most satisfactory of all varieties- Young bearing, annual bear¬ 
ing, heavy bearing, strong growth, hardy, frost, blight and disease 
resistant. Stand 43° Below Zero in Canada. 
Certainly an apple of highest rank. 
They set an apple for each blossom.— 
Ralph May, Michigan. 
It is the best apple I have. Could 
have sold 10,000 bushels this year if I 
had them.—S. D. Kenison, Arkansas. 
Golden Delicious is the greatest apple 
in America. Last year brought double 
the price of other varieties.— M. T. 
Flippin, Tenn. 
I sold ray Golden Delicious at $.1 per 
bushel and all my customers want more 
each year.— B. C. Thompson, N. Y. 
During 8 years Golden Delicious have 
out-yielded the Wealthy four to one— 
brought $2.50 per bushel.— Arno Meyer, 
Wise. 
My 235 9-year Golden Delicious are 
money-makers. My customers prefer 
them to all others.— W. A. Negus, 
Ohio. 
My customers like Golden Delicious 
apples better than any other. I get $1 
more a bu. than for others.— Frank S. 
Foster, III. 
All the fruit I have except some early 
apples is Golden Delicious. They are 
hardier than others. This year the crop 
in this section nearly a failure but Golden 
Delicious loaded. —.4. C. Williams, Ohio. 
I have 350 Golden Delicious trees bear¬ 
ing. In spite of unfavorable pollinating 
conditions, they have a full crop with 
other varieties failures.— Preston T. 
Roberts, New Jersey. 
Golden Delicious a sure bearer and 
one of the best keepers. Apple crop here 
nearly a failure but my 7-year-old 
Golden Delicious averaged about 5 
bushels to the tree. Bringing nearly 
double the price of others.— N. B. 
White, Tennessee. 
Golden Delicious most resistant to 
drouth and fire blight. Many strong 
winds here, but Golden Delicious hangs 
on.— Frank Olson, Michigan. 
Golden Delicious is very resistant to 
drouth and blight. It is a late bloom¬ 
er, bears young, and I get about twice 
as much for the fruit as for any others. 
— A. 11. Courtney, Ohio. 
Bear Good Crops Every Year—Never Fail 
Golden Delicious come through with big crops despite frosts, 
freezes, drouths or unfavorable conditions. They will bear more 
.bushels of fruit every year through a period of years, than any other 
sort. No other apple compares with it in this respect. 
Golden Delicious have never missed a 
crop since they came into bearing. When 
I plant more apples, they will be 100% 
Golden Delicious.— R. T. Poole, N. C. 
Trees loaded every year—never fail. 
Customers drive fifty to one hundred 
miles to get them.— R. L. Littlefield, 
Maine. 
My Golden Delicious are 12 years old. 
Commenced bearing at 3 years— and 
have never failed —have borne 12 
bushels per tree. Brings 50c to $1 per 
bushel above others.— W. B. Landis, 
Iowa. 
Golden Delicious trees bear very 
young and good crop every year. Bring 
a premium price over any apple.— Joe 
Fellner , Wisconsin. 
Even this year my 200 Golden De¬ 
licious 7 years old bore 500 bushels. Bear 
every year, and set fruit without any 
other trees to pollenize them.— Thur¬ 
man Miller , Ohio. 
Loaded the last two years and carry¬ 
ing more than ever this year in spite of 
hard freezes when blossoms were open. 
— D. H. Brake, Michigan. 
Freezes Do Not Stop Them 
Golden Delicious will stand more unfavorable weather, late 
frosts and severe freezes, than any other apple and still come 
through with a crop. Growers marvel at their heavy annual bearing. 
Almost in a class with Wealthy in 
hardiness, vigor and healthy growth. 
■—John Robertson, S. Dakota. 
We had four successive frosts while 
Golden Delicious were blooming. Some 
clusters were so frozen that the spur died 
back to the limb, yet they produced a 
crop.— W. O. Smith, Kentucky. 
I have 50 Golden Deliciou, 8 years old 
that will average 3 bushels per tree. 
Blossoms of other varieties were frozen 
but Golden Delicious came through. 
—C. L. Grimm, Pennsylvania. 
250 Golden Delicious in my orchard 
here came through the coldest winter for 
40 years—ranging from 43° below zero 
here to 55° in the villages. Seem hardy 
as McIntosh and bear third year after 
planting, producing nearly 3 bushel each 
at 5 years.—A. //. Ingalls, Abercorn, 
Quebec, Canada. 
Golden Delicious trees hardy, have 
frost-resisting blossoms. Fruit beauti¬ 
ful, uniform shape and supreme for eat¬ 
ing.— L. II. Green, Mich. 
Golden Delicious heaviest bearer I 
have and begins to bear young. My 9- 
year-old orchard is a joy to behold.— 
Charles M. Roy, Vermont. 
Buyers Beg for Them Everywhere 
There are not one-tenth enough Golden Delicious apples grown to 
pply the heavy demand. Buyers are eager to secure them and 
owers do not have to worry about selling them. 
Keeps Crisp and Juicy All Winter 
Golden Delicious selling 10 baskets 
to 1 against all others at wholesale and 
retail here.—A. Franklin Turner, Illinois. 
Our apples were stored in a very good 
underground storage. Result: absolutely 
no loss from shriveling. We got 50% more 
money for them than others.— Slonemill 
Orchards, Ohio. 
Although we had to market our bounti¬ 
ful crop of Golden Delicious against one 
of the biggest crops in history, we sold 
out at 3 times what others brought. 
—John C. Thomson, Tenn. 
Golden Delicious brings 2 to 3 times 
the price of other varieties. Should prove 
a greater money maker than either 
Oranges or Grape Fruit in California or 
Florida.— E. L. Morris, Tennessee. 
Twelve years ago I listened to you 
and planted Golden Delicious against the 
advice of old timers. Today with these 
apples, I do not have competition.—

Fruit Growers, I thought McIntosh in 
the lead, but I never eat one now when 
I can get Golden Delicious.— Clark Allis, 
New York. 
I sold my Golden Delicious at $3 per 
bushel. It is the best of all apples for No. 
Georgia 1 — earliest bearer, most uni¬

Best keepers and highest quality after 
storage.— M. W. Hall, Ga.
