To give YOU the profit-benefit of this amaz- 
ing New Improved Scarlet Staymared Apple, 
we paid $3,500.00 for this Original Sport Limb, 
31% feet long—nearly $1,000.00 a foot. Recogniz. 
ing in this great apple a valuable new variety, 
the U. S. Government awarded Scarlet Stay- 
mared a U. S. Patent—so all Genuine Scarlet 
Staymared Trees are grown and sold ONLY 
by Stark Nurseries under U. S. Patent. 
“Growers Get 100% Fancy Color" 
“A remarkable all-over-red Stayman—distinct, brighter 
red, a valuable new variety.. The color is marvelous.”’— 
Prof. T. J. Talbert, Chief of Horticulture, University of 
Missouri. 
For the man who is planting a Home Orchard, a Local 
Market Orchard, trees to supply a Roadside Market or a 
large Commercial Orchard, Scarlet Staymared is recom- 
mended as one of his finest flavored, most flashy-looking 
leading profit-makers. ‘ 
A veteran fruit grower, who has observed Scarlet 
Staymared since we. first discovered this valuable. new 
Bud Sport Variety, writes: “What STARKING has done 
for Stark Delicious,’ what JONARED has ‘done for 
jonathan, what RED ROME BEAUTY has done for old 
Rome—this new SCARLET STAYMARED has done for 
Stayman Winesap.”

STARK’S NEW U.S. PATENT 
Takes on a bright flashing all-over Red*30 days 
before Stayman Winesap colors. SCARLET STAY- 
MARED is adding tremendously to the profits of 
growers with highest First-on-the-Market- Prices every 
year—brightest, flashiest of all—a long keeper. 
Scarlet Staymared is a true Limb 
Bud Sport of Stayman Winesap ,and possesses all the superior 
characteristics that have long made Stayman Winesap a national 
favorite—but in addition, it is bright red when Stayman is still 
green, it BEARS YOUNGER than Stayman and it does NOT 
crack like Stayman. 
A large, apple—with marvelous quality—juicy, delicious, spicy flavor 
—bears young—and everywhere it is creating a furore of praise among 
Home Orchardists and Commercial Apple Growers. 
Crisp and Juicy till Late Spring. Because Scarlet Staymared colors a 
brilliant flashing all-over-red 30 days earlier, it can be picked when hard 
ripe and full of juice, so it will keep crispeand juicy till new apples come 
again—A LATE KEEPER —an excellent storage apple, does not scald in 
storage.

“Spring of 1938 we planted 100 of your Scarlet 
Staymored Apple trees, This year (when only 2 years 
old) one of them had 32 nice all-over-red apples, It 
looked so good I thought I would get a picture of it 
so I am enclosing two exposures,’’—J. S. Webster.

The Search of the Scientists has finally Succeeded—Here is the marvelous, long-looked-for JONATHAN 
SPORT, which gets red-all-over two weeks BEFORE Jonathan colors—the ONLY Red Jonathan Apple to 
win recognition by the U. S. Government as a valuable new variety, and to receive a U. S. Patent — 
“TONARED” — Pz 
The JONARED Apple takes on a Blazing, Bright 
Red all-over color, about 2 weeks before Jonathan 
colors—has all the characteristics and fine points which 
made Jonathan one of the leading apples on the market 
—plus 100% extra fancy color. Sooner picking—because 
it colors earlier—gives Jonared longer keeping ability—

“I certainly am glad I took your (Stark Bro’s) 
suggestion and planted JONARED instead of 
Jonathan. Your JONARED came into light bear- 
ing for me in the third year and are six years old 
now and average from 5 to 6 bushels per tree, of beautiful 
all-over flashy red fruit, which sold for 35c to 40c more 
than the same grade Jonathan. These Jonared color up 
way ahead of the Jonathans, and I have been getting a 
better price on a Jonathan which I sell early in the season 
—but neither I nor any of my friends who grow Jonathans 
have been able to get good color until you people sold us 
the Jonared. That flashy finish certainly does the job.”—
