J-A-RED Double RedJonathan 
u.s. PATENT Sold ONLY by Stark 
A Blazing Solid-Red-All-Over Jonathan 
JON-A-RED is the apple for which we have been searching for many 
years. The old Jonathan has long been one of the leading American apples— 
BUT it had its faults—lack of color in many sections, and its habit of drop¬ 
ping badly before taking on profitable color. 
JON-A-RED absolutely corrects these faults. 
We found it in a Western orchard—a bud sport—which assured the 
reproduction in propagation of all improved characteristics—it has created 
a sensation from Coast to Coast. 
JON-A-RED Doubles Value of Jonathan 
Jon-a-red takes on its glorious, blazing, red-all-over color long before Jonathan begins to 
show color—so the Jon-a-red grower can pick his apples EARLY—assuring him of hard solid 
fruit with 100% of deep solid flashing red color—and his fruit will go on the market early in 
the Jonathan season when prices are high or they will keep very late and go on profitable 
late markets the following Spring, after regular Jonathan is gone. 
The advent of Jon-a-red marks a new era in apple growing in all sections where Jonathan is 
grown commercially. The Jon-a-red is a Jonathan that is a solid-red-all-over that can be 
picked while it is hard ripe, and it adds largely to the production of extra fancy fruit that 
will keep perfectly, long after Jonathan has passed its prime. 
A United States Patent has been issued on Jon-a-red and we proudly offer it to the Jonathan 
growers of America. It will do for them what Starking has done for the growers of Delicious. 
“This Solid Red Jonathan Will Make 
Millions for Growers” 
Jon-a-red takes on this marvelous color long before old Jonathan begins to turn red, ena¬ 
bling the grower to pick Jon-a-red while they are still hard and solid, before the danger of 
droppirig. As one orchardist puts it—“This feature will make millions for apple growers.’’ 
It goes on the market one of the most beautiful red apples. With its 100% Extra Fancy 
Color, it means more No. 1 grade and more profits. 
Exactly Like Jonathan in Tree and Fruit— 
Plus Brighter, Earlier Color 
Jon-a-red has all the familiar exquisite Jonathan flavor most highly developed; it has the 
Jonathan characteristics of size and form; plus a bright solid, blazing red—without a sign of 
stripe. Keeps longer—no storage scald. This brilliant red color reaches from the stem to the 
calyx. A true, bright and glowing red (not a dull blackish red), but an attractive bright 
clear vivid red.
