Says Midwestern Grower 
“Several years ago,” says Mr. Frank 
Penstone, a successful Illinois fruit farmer, 
“I set out about 10 acres to Stark trees. 
This was so much more profitable than 
farm crops that I kept adding to my 
orchard until I now have 100 acres, 
“Last year there was a big crop every- 
where, but because I had Stark leading 
varieties—including Starking and Golden 
Delicious—1I made more money off of my 
fruit last year than I ever made before. 
“Again this year Starking and Golden 
Delicious trees are loaded. Some Starking 
trees average 13 to 14 bushels and they 
are beauties. I picked Starking that graded 
64 to the bushel and even now (Sept.) 
they are bright. red all over. That's the 
advantage Starking has over Delicious, 
“The all-over red celor of Starking makes 
them bring 33% to 50% more than Deli- 
cious year after year.’
