(Trade-Mark.) At last we can offer a sweet cherry that is really hardy. Stark Gold 
Cherry came from Richardson Co., Neb., and was introduced by Stark Bro’s. We quote 
Mr. Thomas, the originator: “‘Surpassed in hardiness any cherry on my place; thermometer 
often registers 40 degrees below zero, and average winter reaches 25 to 30 below. Stark 
Gold never misses a crop. Sells for 3 times the price of other cherries.’ (Below see Mr. 
Thomas, originator, and the old tree.) The fruit is of immense size, glossy, almost trans- 
parent, pure, lustrous golden color without a single touch of red, and the quality is 
superb. It ripens about 2 weeks later than Early Richmond, but will hold on to the 
tree 10 days after ripening. Cherry growers throughout the whole country are enthusiastic 
over this wonderful sweet cherry and we have never been able to grow enough to supply the demand.

Stark Cherry 
Trees are grown 
in the best 
cherry soils in 
America, and 
by the most 
up-to-date 
scientific 
methods. They 
have magnifi- 
cent roots and 
lots of vigor. 

Mid-Season. The best strain of Montmorency. From a select 
tree on our grounds which uniformly bore very large fruit— 
larger thanany other Montmorency. Tree stronger grower than 
Montmorency King (Ordinaire). Our favorite for over 20 years. 
Fruit large, flesh firm, ships perfectly; tree strong grower, sure 
and young bearer, largest of all the sour cherries, very 
hardy; produces tremendous money making crops—succeeds 
throughout the U.S. 
This great cherry should be grown on every farm and on every 
town lot, along driveways—wherever a space 10 feet square. 
Many fruit growers plantcherry trees along the highways of theirfarms, 
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 Mont- 
morencies 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

Burbank’s Giant 
Rapid Growing Tree 
As a Nut tree the Royal Walnut is a con- 
stant, heavy producer—and the nuts are 
much larger than Black Walnuts. 
Luther Burbank, Originator, states ‘‘The 
quality also is much superior to that of 
either parent; the meat, which is very large, 
and parts more readily from the shell, has 
none of the disagreeable strong taste of the 
common American Black. Also sweeter than 
California Black.’’ 
A wonderful timber producer. Actual tests 
indicate Burbank Royal Walnut trees 
usually reach merchantable timber-size in 
half the time of ordinary Black Walnut. 
The increasing demand and many uses for 
Walnut which no other tree can fill, com- 
bined with scarcity of trees, assure a high 
priced market—not only for Walnut Meats, 
but for timber and for hulls for dye making. 
Beautiful shade tree.
