STARK GOLD 
The Hardy, Heavy-Bearing Sweet Cherry | 
STARK GOLD (Trade-Mark) —At last we can offer a sweet > 
cherry that is REALLY HARDY. Stark Gold Cherry came 
from Richardson Co., Nebr., and was introduced by Stark Bros. 
We quote Mr. Thomas, the originator: “Surpassed in hardiness 
any cherry on my place; thermometer often registers 40 de-, ^ 
Kiees below zero, niul nverage winter reaches 2.T to 30 l»elow. Stark Gold 
nev(‘r misses a crop. Sells for 3 times the price of other cherries.’’ The 
fruit is of immen.se size, GLOSSY, ALMOST TRANSPARENT, PURE, 
LUSTROITS GOIAIEN UOI/OR without a single touch of red, and the ■; 
(QUALITY IS SUPERK. It rii)ens about 2 weeks later than Early Rich¬ 
mond, hut will hold on to the tree 10 days after rii)enlng. ('herry glowers 
throughout the whole country are enthusiastic over this wonderful sweet ^ 
cherry and we have never l>een able to grow enough to supply the demand. 
MONTEARLY (Earliest of all Sour Uherries)—The originator of Montearly, .. 
Prof. L. R. Taft, describes this remarkable cherry as follows: “This cherry is 
fully as early as Early Richmond (our own experts state that it ripens A 
FeSy DAYS EARLIER). Fruit is larger than Montmorency and has a long ..V 
stem, (’olor is a deep, rich wine color, with deep red colored juice something /^ 
like English Morello. Flavor less tart than regular Montmorency. This cherry p. 
makes a wonderful sauce or pie. The tree in size, shape, growth is like 
Montmorency. Ix^aves leas subject to leaf-spot than regular Montmorency. ' 
MONTLATE (2 weeks after Montmorency)—“Montlate is a late-riiienlng sport 
of Montmorency,” states Prof. Taft, former Michigan State Horticulturist. “I 
consider Montlate to be a definite fixed sport of Montmorency. Fully ecpial to 
Montmorency In young and heavy bearing. The fruit sells for tlie same high prices 
as English Morello and the trees are certainly MORE PRODIJGTIVE—and the cherries 
are even larger than Montmortmcy, due to the prolonged season of rli)enlng. The 
entire crop rii)ens uniformly on the tree, which is very vigorous and does not show 
any injury from leaf spot. lias withstood 28 degrees below zero without injury.” 
LACK TARTARIAN IMPROVED — 
I i dlest, most deiiendable, most widely- 
successful of LARGE BLAf'K TAR¬ 
TARIAN SWEET (’HERRIES—ideal 
HARDY, BLAIJK TEAMMATE OF 
STARK GOLD. After many years of 
propagation WE GROW ONLY THE 
DEA(;oN (’ERTIFIED POLLENIZING 
STRAIN WHICH PROVED THE BEST. An extra large, black, 
heart-sbaiKsl, purplish-red fleshed cherry, for home and market. 
Sweet, early, hardy. 
STARK LAMBERT —Hark purplish red-, turning almost jet black 
when ripe; skin glossy—tough enough to insure good shipping; 
flesh firm, rich, sweet, juicy, of SUPREME QUALITY—largest 
and most showy of sweet cherries, with extraordinarily small pit. 
Riliens in Early Summer about a week before Stark Gold. We 
now offer an IMPROVED HARDY “STARK LAMBERT”—our 
propagation for years has been from a Record-Bearing Parent 
Tree that bore every year through a long period. 
This RECORD-BEARING Strain of Black Tartarian Improved 
came from a famous Western Cherry Expert. Our trees have been 
propagated DIREf’T from his superior Record-Bearing Parent 
Tree. He says. It is 100% better in bearing big crops regularly 
than any other Black Tartarian. The uniform huge size of its 
fruit is better than any other. Hardy—bore last year when a 
succession of heavy frosts took most of our fruit.”

elty in cherries—originated on a dark red Lamliert (’herry Tree 
with oiu> limb bearing AVHITE Lambert (’berries with a narrow
