Above photo of 3-year-old Stark’s Golden Delicious 
tree in A. Johnson’s orchard; bearing big crop. This tree 
| bore a fine crop the 2nd year after planting—and is loaded 
with apples again this year. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson in 
photo above. 
A. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., broke down in health 
and retired from the grocery business with only $3,000.00 
' “to his name’’—at 65 years of age. Then he went to Oregon. 
He secured a little “patch” of rough land at a low 
price—and then cleared it himself, all alone. He wrote 
us about what kind of an orchard to “put out.’’” We 
told him what variety of fruit trees to plant—and how 
to care for them. He says that at that time he ‘didn’t 
know an apple tree from a peach.” 
Today Mr. Johnson is the owner of as fine a 40-acre 
orchard as anyone can boast. His Gross Income from 
His 40-Acres of Stark Trees This Year Alone Was 
$13,000.00. He recently refused $40,000.00 cash for this 
40-acre orchard. 
At 86 years of age, he is sound in health and financially 
independent. We say that it was his grit that enabled 
him to do all this. He , “It was Stark Trees—and

3 Sets of Bloom— 
Dodge Severe Frost 
Genuine Golden Delicious bloom 
late and often actually have 3 differ- 
ent sets of blooms:—First, the ordi- 
nary fruit-spur buds—next, terminal 
bloom buds—and, then, the lateral bloom 
buds. Even if frost gets one set, the others 
can produce a crop. That’s WHY Golden 
Delicious bears when frosts kill the crops on 
other varieties. 
F. A. Schell noted Washington grower, 
says: 
‘*We had 25 degrees when our Golden 
Delicious were in bloom and they set a 
crop in spite of it.’’

Here are just a few of the enthusias 
reports that are pouring in on us from 
delighted growers: 
“This spring 3 heavy frosts killed all my 
other varieties except Golden Delicious. 
They brought me 50 per cent more than 
others,” declares G. C. Roberts, Colum- 
biana, Co., OHIO. “My heavy crop of 
Golden Delicious will be the ONLY apples 
I’ll harvest th . All others very light,’’ 
states Kalalanta Orchards, Macon . N.

ONLY trees producing a crop this year. 
They bring me 100% MORE MONEY 
than my other varieties,” states Zack 
Hodson, Shelby Co., ILL.
