Finest Flavored, Most Beautiful 
Apple in all the World 
Golden Delicious is a remarkably large, late keeping, glossy, 
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 
glorious fruit per tree—brings higher prices on all 
markets—and delights more buyers than any apple 
1 
ever before grown in American orchards. It is supreme 
as an eating apple —perfection for cooking —un¬ 
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 
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— 
and so beautiful that it attracts the eye on every market, 
and so good that, once eaten, no other variety can ever 
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- 
lover wants, and satisfies every buyer and every grower.

Glowing reports from every section of the country, drive home the conviction that 
Golden Delicious is THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITE—that it will succeed gloriously wherever 
apples grow! That year after year Golden Delicious will bear more apples than any other 
known variety. Orchardists and apple buyers say—“Year after year it’s the big money 
maker.’’ 
Young, Heavy Bearer in Penn. 
“Two years ago our Hillside Farm purchased from you several 
hundred fruit trees. Among them a number of Golden Delicious. All 
of the trees were exceptionally fine stock and all of them grew. 
“Three of the Golden Delicious blossomed like a flower 
garden this Spring (just eleven months after I put them in the 
ground). They not only blossomed, but they set many apples, 
and matured some nice full size fruit. I had the pleasure of 
seeing large fine Golden Delicious apples develop from your trees 
just eighteen months after we planted the trees.” 
“Your catalog reports that Golden Delicious has borne at two 
years, but this is a case of bearing real honest-to-goodness apples in 
ONE YEAR. As to the growth of the trees, I doubt if anybody has 
ever grown larger trees in so short a time. Needless to say we are 
delighted and such performance clearly reflects what you 
have accomplished in your many years of intensive propaga¬ 
tion of the world’s finest and highest quality fruit trees.”—

“My 50 Golden Delicious trees only 8 years old bore 300 to 400 
bushels this year. They bear the heaviest of all. Golden Deli¬ 
cious forms the best balanced and most vigorous tree with minimum 
pruning. Golden Delicious is wonderful for eating, cooking or 
baking,” writes Idaho grower. 
**Bears Big Crops in Iowa.” 
We had 8 year old tree which we picked 15 bushels of large fruit, 
some measuring nearly four inches in diameter. This is the orchard 
from which we picked the plate of Jonathan which won Grand 
Sweepstakes at the Iowa State Fair and also the plate of Starking 
which won the Sweepstakes given by the American Pomological 
Society last winter. Our orchard is 17 years old and of course we 
planted Stark Trees. We have 40 acres and harvested nearly 
14,000 bushels this year.” —Geo. A. Schurk, Iowa. 
**World*s Best Surest Bearer” 
“I sold my first grade Golden Delicious apples at $2.50 per 
bushel. My opinion is that the Golden Delicious is the best 
apple in the world and the surest to get a crop from as they 
put out three sets of blooms.—J. B. Skinner, Ark. 
“Averaged 3 Bushels per Tree in Alabama” 
“I have shipped you a basket of Golden Delicious and Starking 
Apples by Express today to show you how they thrive in Alabama. 
These are similar to the apples I sent to the New York World’s Fair. 
“These Apples are surprising everybody around this dis¬ 
trict. They are just wonderful! 
“My 5-year old Golden Delicious averaged three (3) bushels 
of saleable apples per tree this year. The size of the fruit was very 
large—averaging 87 apples to the bushel. Golden Delicious 
and Starking Apples make me ten times as much as my other 
crops.” —Harry Brown, Alabama.
