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- 
grees below zero, and average winter reaches 25 to 80 below. Stark Gold 
never misses a crop. Sells for 8 times the price of other cherries,” The 
fruit is of immense size, GLOSSY, ALMOST TRANSPARENT, PURE, 
LUSTROUS GOLDEN COLOR without a single touch of red, and the 
QUALITY IS SUPERB. It ripens about 2 weeks later than Early Rieh- 
mond, but will hold on to the tree 10 days after ripening. Cherry growers 
throughout the whole country are enthusiastic over this wonderful sweet 
cherry and we have never been able to grow enough to supply the demand. 

(Barliest of all Sour Cherries)—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 
FEW DAYS BARLIER). Fruit is larger than Montmorency and has a long 
stem. Color isa deep, rich wine color, with deep red colored juice something 
“like English Morello, Flavor less tart than regular Montmorency. This cherry 
mikes a wonderful sauce or pie. The tree in size, shape, growth is like 
Montmorency. Leaves less subject to leaf-spot than regular Montmorency. 
(2 weeks after Montmorency)—‘Montlate is a late-ripening sport 
of Montmorency,” states Prof, Taft, former Michigan State Horticulturist. “T 
consider Montlate to be a definite fixed sport of Montmorency. Fully equal to 
Montmorency in young and heavy bearing, The fruit sells for the same high prices 
as English Morello and the trees are certainly MORE PRODUCTIVE—and the cherries 
are even larger than Montmorency, due to the prolonged season of ripening. The 
entire crop ripens uniformly on the tree, which is very vigorous and does not show 
any injury from leaf spot. Has withstood '28 degrees below zero without injury.”
