Finest Flavored, Most Beautiful 
Apple in all the World 
V Golden Delicious is a remarkably large, late keeping, glossy, 
p ,*• golden apple of superb beauty and with an indescribably 
delicious flavor, that has within less than twenty years 
; \ become the unquestioned favorite, both as a home 
apple and for both local and distant markets. 
The Golden Delicious tree produces more bushels of 
K glorious fruit per tree—brings higher prices on all 
R markets—and delights more buyers than any apple 
Ik ever before grown in American orchards. It is supreme 
as an eating apple —perfection for cooking —un- 
H surpassed for canning and for cider Golden Delicious is 
—The supreme apple 
—The apple without a fault 
—The apple that has taken the fruit world by 
storm, producing fruit extremely young, before the 
average variety really gets a start in the orchard. It 
possesses the abounding vitality that makes it bear 
young and grow fast at the same time—limbs very 
strong, do not break under heavy loads of fruit. Bear 
B nearly every year and immense crops—fruit hangs 
tenaciously, does not drop. 
Golden Delicious averages as large as Stark Red De- 
licious. Is the best keeper of all good apples—ranking 
|» as a keeper in storage—with Willow Twig and Winesap— 
■7 and so beautiful that it attracts the eye on every market, 
W and so good that, once eaten, no other variety can ever 
V take its place. 
Golden Delicious is a big Glossy Golden Yellow apple slight¬ 
ly conical in shape, has rich creamy yellow flesh that is crisp 
and firm with a sparkling tangful flavor, reminding one of a 
perfectly ripened Bartlett Pear. No apple ever known or grown has 
so instantly caught the public’s favor, for it has everything the apple- 
Jover wants, and satisfies every buyer and ev ery grower. 
Heaviest Bearer of ALL Apples 
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 
Front 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.

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%
