‘*Starking Brings Us Higher Prices 
From every section of the country—from the far North 
the deep South; from the East; from the West; from the 
Middlewest; from Canada; come glowing reports from 
farmers who are growing Starking Double.Red Deli- 
cious. Starking is the favorite red apple in Home Orchards, 
with the commercial grower and with the home market 
grower. Plant Starking for young and heavy bearing. 
Highest quality fruit which brings top-market prices. 
‘‘‘Starking Brings Us 25% to 50% More’’ 
—says Dr. J. R. Lowery, of Rowan Co., N. C., who states 
also he makes ‘‘more profit from my Apple and Peach 
Orchards than from my six big farms. 
“Starking is the most popular apple with our customers. 
It brings us highest prices—25% to 50% more than other 
varieties and makes us more money than any other 
variety we grow.’’ 
Starking Sold for $3.50 Bushel 
“My 400 Starking and Golden Delicious trees bought from your 
nurseries bear every year and are very thrifty growers. The 
young Starking trees each bore from 5 to 7 bushels of beautiful, 
all-over crimson red apples last year. I easily sold them for 
$3.50 a bushel! They always bring the top prices on EVERY 
market!’’—R. L. Wallace, Knox Co., Tenn. 
“T gathered 400 bushels from my 300 young Starking trees 
this year—and had no trouble in selling them for 3314 per cent 
higher. prices than the Delicious. These Starking trees 
began bearing when 4 years old. The high color of the Starking 
apple attracts attention on the markets and they sell at high 
prices when the lack of color on old Delicious compels one 
to sell old Delicious at lower prices.’’-—F. L. Andrews, 
Spokane Co., Wash. 
_ “My Starkings always sell for $1.50 more per bushel 
than I can get for old Delicious.’-—G. Golden, Hot 
Spring Co., Ark. 
Bring $1.00 More per Bushel 
“All my Starking Apples sell quickly ~ 
for $1.00 more per bushel than 
Delicious, due to the better color and finer 
flavor.’’—Mrs. E. L. Bower, Richardson Co. Nebr.

Chas. Rumbolz, famous orchardist of 
Okanogan Co., Wash., writes: ‘‘From 200 
Starking trees only 8 years old, we packed 
2,436 boxes—12.18 bushels per tree—THE 
MOST REMARKABLE YIELD I HAVE 
EVER RECEIVED FROM ANY 8-YEAR- 
OLD TREES.” J. C. Norris, Inspector, saw 
Mr. Rumbolz’s fruit, wrote: ‘‘I can’t describe 
the scene—3600 bushels of THESE IM- 
MENSE SOLID RED STARKING. It is 
of orchard planting.”’

started bearing at 3 years’’ states F.

“Whenever we can cut out unpopular and unprofitable varieties and 
plant improved varieties we should do so,’’ Senator Harry Byrd told 
the Members of the Virginia Horticultural Society. ‘‘Red Delicious 
(Starking) is the most profitable Variety we can grow provided it 
is planted properly in suitable soil and thoroughly pollenized.” 
NOTE: Senator Byrd practices what he preaches. Last year 
alone he planted 6031 STARKING (Double-Red Delicious). He 
also planted large quantities of Scarlet Staymared, Red Rome 
Beauty, Golden Delicious, Staymared, etc. 
Geo. T. Skiff, Onondago Co., New York writes: ““My 200 Starking 
trees bore much younger than Delicious. All the apples are highly 
colored No. 1 Extra Fancy for color and my customers are crazy about 
them. Have sold my apples for $3.50 a bushel.

STARKING 
King of All Red Apples 
“T am a strong booster for Starking Delicious because I have watched 
its action both in the orchards and on the markets. Our Starking Delicious 
have borne at a young age, have borne heavy crops and have brought top 
prices on the market—says John Cannon, Mgr. 500 Acre Mo. Orchard. 
“Our first picking of Starking totaled approximately 3000 bushels and 
sold f.o.b. packing house at 40% higher than ordinary Delicious. This 
first picking of 3000 bushels went to three leading markets and on receipt 
of the apples the buyers at each one of the three markets phoned us for 
additional shipments. Starking certainly brings repeat business. 
“Our young orchard of Stark Trees was 4 years old this summer and 
bore the best crop I have ever seen on trees of th e. All of these were 
Stark varieties and it is one of the finest young orchards I have ever seen. 
“ec 
Golden Delicious bore heavily this year for such young trees.”
