Golden Delicious 
Bears Everywhere — Big Crops 
Golden Delicious is the supreme apple — the apple without a 
fault—the apple that has taken the fruit world by storm, and 
has established a new standard of beauty, quality and profit, 
among apple growers, apple lovers and apple dealers of the 
entire nation. 

Golden Delicious originated as a seedling high up on a rough mountain 
side in Clay Co., W. Va.—was bought by us for $5,000:00—was.- introduced 
twenty-two years ago, and in that relatively short time has become the best 
known, most popular and most widely planted of all apples—and has estab- 
lished its outstanding value in the minds of apple growers all over the world. 

This tree in a cnage’on a rocky West Virginia moun- 
tainside is the ORIGINAL Stark’s Golden Delicious. 
We paid $5,000.00 for this tree and the ground on 
Which it stands. This is the PARENT TREE of all 
genuine Golden Delicious trees. A. H. Mullins, in 
- whose orchard the tree was found, is standing inside 
the cage. : 

Golden Delicious is the finest flavored apple in existence—perfect for 
‘cooking and unsurpassed for canning and for cider. The tree is the youngest 
bearer, the heaviest bearer, the most regular bearer of all known apples. The 
fruit averages large—a big, glossy golden yellow with a rich creamy flesh— 
crisp, firm with a sparkling tangful flavor much like that of a perfect Bart- 
lett pear. No apple ever known or grown bas so instantly caught the publie 
favor for it has everything the apple lover wants, and satisfies every grower 
and every buyer. : 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS PAYS MORE PROFIT 
“Why didn't I believe you when you told me that 
Golden Delicious was the most profitable to grow? 
When I planted 800 apple trees 13 years ago, I would 
venture ONLY 25 trees of your Golden Delicious. I 
have sold the fruit from these 25, trees : 
GREAT CROPS WHEN 6 
each year for more money than from all 
those other 275 trees put together. YEARS OLD 
STANDS SEVERE COLD — BEARS 
EVERY YEAR - 
“Golden Delicious trees are vigorous 
and beautiful in shape. It is the most 
perfect all-purpose apple I have ever 
. seen—for eating purposes as well as for 
cooking it has no equal.” 
—F, R. Christie, West Virginia.

‘as they grow in orchards everywhere. 









“T have 115 acres in apple trees, and my 
300 Golden Delicious pay all of my expenses 
of spraying, taxes, food and clothing for 
my family: of five and pay hired help. I tell 
everybody my Golden Delicious are ever- 
bearers. If a freeze gets the first buds they 
will throw out secondary buds at the termi- 
nal ends of last season’s growth. 
“T entered an acre of 40 Golden Delicious 
six: years old in our State Contest, and I 
Was given a cash prize of $80.00 in the Fu- 
turity Production Class. My yield was 210 
bushels of No. 1 apples from 40 six-year- 
old trees. 
—S. Hahn, Kansas. 
THRIVE IN CANADA 
“Golden Delicious thrive like the prickly 
pear in Australia. My 13-year-old trees have 
given me 10 crops. This dry, bad year they 
are simply covered—bending down with big 
golden apples.” 
—A. W. Bartlett, Ontario, Canada. 
“Here in Wisconsin, where we have 20 to 
30> below zero weather, we have Golden 
Delicious trees which started to bear when 
only 4 years old and had a crop every year 
since, 
“The flavor of Wisconsin-grown Golden 
Delicious is just wonderful and just before 
Christmas we get 44% more for Golden 
Delicious than for Snow, Melntosh, Jona- 
than and other standard sorts.” 
—W, J. Ahrens, Wisconsin. 
$150.00 CROP FROM 15 TREES 
“My 15 Golden Delicious trees started to 
bear when only 3 years old. This year I 
picked 50 bushels from my 15 trees and 
sold the fruit at my roadside stand for 
$3.00 per bushel. Golden Delicious set fruit 
and matured crops when last frosts kill 
other varieties.” 
AVERAGE 15 BUSHELS.—‘We had 200 
Golden Delicious trees and we: have just 
finished picking 3,000 bushels of fine apples.” 
—J. O. Stants. Indiana.
