Young Golden Delicious Trees 
Bring $3,000.00 Crop to Growers 
Thos. J. Harwell, well known Virginia grower, writes 
us: I have 250 Golden Delicious trees now 6 and 8 years 
old. They began bearing at 3 years. This year despite 
the worst drouth in a generation they bore a splendid 
crop — some bearing 10 bushels per tree. 
“My total Golden Delicious crop was 1,000 bushels, and I will 
get at least $3.00 per bushel for them. I can get one-third more 
for Golden Delicious than for other apples. 

“Golden Delicious is also particularly RESISTANT TO 
DROUTH—this year showing up the best of any variety in my 
orchard—these 250 Golden Delicious trees alone bearing 1,000 
bushels while my 5,750 other apple trees bore only 2,000 bushels. 
Golden Delicious is also more resistant to Fire Blight than other 
varieties—also to cold. As for the quality, it is superb, When you 
get a customer for Golden Delicious, he will always come back 
for more.” 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS MOST PROFITABLE IN OKLAHOMA 
“T have 40 Golden Delicious trees four to ten years old. Some started to 
bear at 2 years and others 3 years. I will have from 6 to 10 bushels per tree 
on the 10-year-olds. They bear much younger than others, and are so prolific 
we have to begin early taking them off.’ 
—Mrs. F. A. Castanien, Oklahoma. 
CROP IN SPITE OF LATE FREEZE 
“This year we had a late freeze which killed everything except Golden 
Delicious. I am sorry I did not plant more Golden Delicious. The more I see 
of them, the better I like them. They grow fast and are very hardy.” 
a : Fe —Luther Emerson, Merrimac County, N. H. 
MOST POPULAR IN OHIO 
“Golden Delicious are proving their popularity. Sizes vary from 8% inches 7? 
down. It is a fact that we have more calls for Golden Delicious and Starking 
than for any other apples, and of course, they bring us higher prices.” 
i ¢ —Paul Sconavec, Ohio. 
OUTSELLS OTHER LEADING KINDS.—“A strong demand from truckers 
- for Golden Delicious. Demand getting stronger all the time. Selling at higher 
: Drives than Jonathan or other standard varieties.” 
of —Stillwell Cold Storage Co., Missouri. 
__ SIXTH SUCCESSIVE CROP ON YOUNG TREES 
“In 1935,” reports Rising Springs Orchards, Pike County, Illinois, “our four 
year old Golden Delicious trees produced a good crop which brought us 
good prices, 
“In 1936, despite a cold prolonged winter, hottest summer with the most 
severe drouth in memory, Golden Delicious again came through with a 
$6,400.00 crop. 
: “Again in 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1940 these same trees were loaded, and 
brought highest prices.” 
IMMENSE PRICE—READY MARKET.—“I sold my Golden Delicious at 
$3.00 per bushel and all my customers think they are the finest apple that 
grows and want more each year.” 
—B. ©. Thompson, New York. 
SOME VARIETIES FREEZE—BUT NOT GOLDEN DELICIOUS.—‘I have 
50 Golden Delicious 8 years old that will average 3 bushels per tree. Blossoms 
of other be were frozen, but Golden Delicious came through.”
