Our wonderful Gold Plum has created a greater sensation and made more friends among Plum 
growers than any older variety ever introduced. Luther Burbank, who originated Gold Plum, 
says—'A most remarkable fruit—one of the best plums ever produced.”’ Fruit clear, 
semi-transparent, light golden yellow, later nearly overspread with a hazy carmine blush. 
When fully ripe a transparent light cherry red. Tree does best in chicken yards and on 
moderately dry thin or clay soil; rather dwarfish growing, but strong, healthy and one of 
the hardiest. We paid Burbank $3,000.00 for this wonderful fruit and Trade-Marked 
the name. Buy the genuine Stark Gold from Stark Bro’s, the Exclusive Introducers 
and Owners. Succeeds everywhere—from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Great 
Lakes to the Gulf. Mid-Season.
