prize varieties, Every tree and every vine and plant is fattened before it is shipped 
so that it is packed with the rich soil elements that virtually prevent the possibility 
of setback and give it a healthy, start on your land. Every Stark tree must have an 
extra-heavy root system or it will not qualify under our rigid inspections. Almost 
everyone who receives our trees exclaim over the differente in the Stark heavy root 
system and the roots on ordinary trees. Just this morning we received a letter from a 
customer in Lincoln County, Montana - Mr. H. D. Collier, who said 
"Please send me catalog. I ordered from you last year and 
was so well pleased with all I ordered I wish to order 
more. 
"No one can tell me any more that there isn't any differ- 
ence in nursery stock. I had bought other stock before I 
ordered from you, and there is a decided difference." 
It must be difficult for anyone who has not had personal experience 
with the Stark and Burbank varieties to realize how different they are, how much bete- 
ter fruit they bear and how much quicker they can be brought into bearing. I always 
get a thrill when J] remember that a couple of boys up in Oregon are selling pears 
from our trees and getting $1.95 a dozen for them. Such things are hard to believe 
until you see them with your own eyes. Another gets $1.75 a dozen for his beautiful 
luscious Golden Delicious apples. 
We want to cooperate in the U. S. Government’s campaign to make fresh 
fruit available to more people. Your Government says fresh fruit provides health- 
giving food essentials that will help us win the war. So as long as the Government 
wants you to eat more fruit we are going to make a remarkable offer so that you and 
your family eat not ordinary fruit, but the finest prize fruit -~- prize fruit that's 
easier to raise than ordinary kind, 
Se, solely to introduce and prove the great superiority of Stark 
Record~Bearing Strain trees, we have had our fruit experts select groups of our finest 
quick bearing varieties in special collections of Big 4 to 7 foot size trees of kinds 
that ripen at different times from early summer to late fall to insure fruit through- 
out the season. We call these collections our Victory Fruit Tree Collections, and if 
you act at once you may own one at exactly helf the price that thousands have paid. 
Before we realized the full importance of the U. &. Government's re- 
quest for our co-operation, we had mentioned in our advertisement that we hed an offer 
of free trees to introduce. ven though we are making this Special Half Price 
Collection offer, we will still stand back of our free tree offer as explained on the 
enclosed Free Tree sheet. 
This is a remarkable opportunity so please let us hear from you prompt- 
ly if you wish to make these savings. 
Sincerely yours,
