SOME REMARKABLE MISSOURI APPLES FROM STARK BROS. 
NURSERIES 
The business office of the National Nurseryman wishes to 
acknowledge receipt of samples of the Delicious, Black Ben and 
Staymen Winesap Apples, presented by Stark Bros. Nursery and 
Orchard Co. of Louisiana, Mo. These apples are most beautiful in 
color, and are very large, weighing on the average of twelve ounces 
each. 
The Delicious is nearly round and quite a deep brilliant red. 
Stayman Winesap is certainly a most wonderful apple. It is some¬ 
what cone shaped, and very richly colored. The Black Ben is with¬ 
out a doubt one of the handsomest apples we have ever seen. Its 
color is a solid rich, bright red. 
Great pride has been taken in showing these apples to nursery¬ 
men who have visited the office of the National Nurseryman and 
universal admiration and surprise has been expressed at the unusual 
beauty, size and perfection of this Missouri fruit. 
“Stark’s trees certainly bear delicious fruit.’’
