America’s Greatest Pie Cherry 
MONTMORENCY STARK 
MONTMORENCY STARK—The best strain of Montmorency. From a 
select tree on our grounds which uniformly bore very large fruit— 
larger than any other Montmorency. ‘Tree stronger grower than Mount- 
morency King, (Ordinaire). Our favorite for over 80 years. Fruit 
large, flesh firm, ships perfectly; tree strong grower, sure and young 
bearer, largest of all the sour cherrics, very hardy ; produces tremendous 
money-making crops—succeeds throughout the U. 8. 

This great cherry should be grown on every farm and on every town 
lot, along driveways—wherever you have 15 feet square. Many fruit 
growers plant cherry trees along the highways of their farms, and 
today their old fence rows are producing enough profit to pay the 
taxes on the farm, and more besides. It is the perfect variety for pies, 
preserves, cobblers, puddings and other good “eats.” The Montmorencies 
are the best “so-called” sour cherries—they are. not really sour, for 
Montmorency when fully ripe is sweet and luscious, the favorite of the 
children. Three-fourths of all cherries should be of this type. They 
are the most perfect in tree, resist disease, less affected by wet weather, 
are most productive and bear best fruit of all the sours. 
No matter how unfavorable the season, the Montmorencies can be 
depended upon. They are hardy, bloom late, sure bearers. On account 
of young bearing (often fruit at 2 years old), semi-dwarfish growth, 
they make ideal fillers for apple orchards. Excellent shippers, always 
bring good prices. In canning factories and preserving works they are 
preferred and are wanted by the hundreds of tons. Succeed throughout 
the U. 8S. We grow five strains of the Montmorencies which are kept 
absolutely pure. Eating, Cooking, Canning, Market. 
MONTMORENCY KING—(Ordinaire). Mid-season., Cannot be too 
highly recommended for quality and quantity of fruit, hardiness and 
beauty of tree, and unfailing crops. Ripens a week or ten days after 
Farly Richmond. Montmorency is the most widely planted of all sour 
cherties, but there is not one-half enough grown to supply the demand 
for the fruit. Do not require much care, and they produce immense crops. 
MONTMORENCY MONARCH—Mid-season. This is an excellent strain 
of Montmorency that we secured from the Iowa Experiment Station 
years ago and Wecduse of its extra heavy bearing qualities we have 
continued to grow it and recommend it. 
MONTMORENCY SWEET—Mid-season. <A _ true Montmorency, but 
sweeter than other strains. Recommended for all home grounds. 
EARLY RICHMOND—Early. Medium size, clear, bright red, but well- 
known and widely planted, both for home use and market—a standard. 
3 Better than Barly Richmond, a week earlier, larger, 
smaller seed—best very early cherry except Montearly, Tree thrifty, 
unusually strong grower, good bearer. There isa good market for a 
cherry that comes on the markets very early—long before the Mont- 
morencies are ready. For this extremely early season we recommend 
Dyehouse and Montearly. 
SUDA HARDY—Late. Where a late red tart cherry is wanted, Suda Hardy 
should always be planted, Tree is perfectly hardy and the fruit is produced 
in immense quantities. Of English Morello type, but larger, not quite so 
acid, better quality, and produces larger crops. Ripens and comes on market 
10 days after Montmorencies. Always sells readily at premium prices. Mont- 
early, Montmorency, Montlate, and Suda Hardy give a long season of 
luscious money-making fruit and are the best tart cherries. Eating, Cooking, 
Canning, Market. Introduced and Sold ONLY by Stark Bro’s. 
ROYAL DUKE—Early. Large, light red, rich, juicy, semi-sweet —the best 
of all the Dukes. Cooking, Eating, Market.
