(Trade- Mark) Best red grape ever discovered. Until we introduced 
Stark Delicious, there was no red grape of superior quality that had 
also a strong healthy productive vine. Stark Delicious has become 
so popular that we have never been able to grow enough to supply 
the demand. Its color is so attractive, the bunch so large and handsome, 
the quality so delicious that it always brings top prices on all markets.

From every standpoint Stark Delicious is the red grape 
supreme. It is delightfully sweet and rich, comparing 
with Delaware in this respect, and has every good 
quality that a grape should have both in the vineyard, 
time for the market. In our vineyards it is the youngest 
bearer—often bears on one year vines—a splendid 
hardy healthy vine with luxuriant foliage that hangs 
very late. For eating out of hand, for the table, for 

jelly, for grape juice, for the small town or city market 
—it is ideal. Eating, Jelly, Juice, Market. Sold
