Elbertas 
Huge size. Mid-season yellow freestone. In size, color, texture, flavor, 
keeping and shipping qualities, J. H. Hale surpasses old Elberta. Ripens 
with or just after Elberta, but colors sooner. Vivid carmine over golden 
yellow skin, almost perfectly round—fuzzless. Flesh solid, yet tender, melt¬ 
ing, nearly free from grain and stringiness. Exquisite flavor—no bitter 
Elberta tang. Stocky tree. Heavy bearer. Succeeds almost everywhere. 
Fruit commands instant attention on all markets because of giant size and 
beautiful color. Almost as firm as a clingstone, and its shipping ability is 
really marvelous. A home canning favorite. This is one yellow peach that 
we consider fit to become the teammate of the Stark Early Elberta. Always 
plant with another variety for pollination. 
“I Give Credit to Stark 
Trees” 
writes Mr. J. C. Taylor, “and also 
to the advice I received from 
Stark’s. Your ‘Record-Rearing’ 
Strain J. H. Hale and Stark Early 
Elberta are certainly wonders. I get 
twice as much money for my peaches 
grown on Stark 1 Record-Bearing’ 
Strain Trees.”

Southern Farming quotes—“From 
one acre J. H. Flale trees we har¬ 
vested 748 bushels—1500 baskets 
and 1000 six-basket crates. They 
sold the next morning for 60 per 
cent higher price than Elberta.” 
Stark Early Elberta is the Prince of all Elberta-type peaches— 
introduced by Stark Nurseries. Beautiful, golden fruit, blushed with 
vivid red. Has strong velvety skin enveloping rich golden tender 
flesh, yet firm and blessed with a simply delightful flavor. No peach 
can boast more gratifying quality. Few other freestone peaches are 
as good for canning. Not spongy and coarse, as so many old Elbertas 
are. Luther Burbank wrote: “One of handsomest, most shapely, 
most beautiful of peaches; quality fully carries out its appearance. 
A Model Peach.” 
Allures all with its beauty, delights with its exquisite quality and 
sells for highest prices where the truly finest flavored fruit is sought 
and sold. Ripens two weeks earlier than old Elberta.

Best of 4,000,000 New Varieties Tested 
During 30 Years 
Stark Early Elberta was selected by us as the best of its season 
after 30 years of careful tests of nearly 4,000,000 different varieties 
and strains. 
The original Stark Early Elberta tree was developed from a Stark 
seedling tested in the orchard of Dr. Sumner Gleason of Kaysville, 
Utah. From this original tree and trees propagated directly from 
the original tree, we have propagated all our Stark Early Elberta 
trees. Beware of so-called Early Elberta that are entirely different 
and inferior. 
Much Hardier than Old Elberta 
This variety possesses remarkable hardiness, having a very hardy 
North China type bloom. “ Extremely hardy, sure bearers,” declares 
B. Carine, one of Connecticut’s greatest peach growers. Distinctly 
hardier than old Elberta. Healthy, vigorous orchard tree—disease 
resistant—good grower—ver y voqqg and h eavy bearer.
