STARK EXTRA HEAVY ROOT SYSTEM GRAFTING METHOD 
Guarantees You Quicker Bearing, Heavier Bearing, Stronger Trees! 
Roots are the most important part of a tree. They are the feeders and 
draw from the earth vital substances necessary to the life, growth and 
crops of the tree. 
Big, strong, vigorous, spreading, husky roots reach down deep in the 
soil, and the trees start fast, vigorous growth and bear quickly. 
Stark Bro’s Extra Heavy Root System Grafting Method (2), using the 
complete system of the root-stock instead of only a piece of root (1) as is 
usually done, is your guarantee of quicker bearing, heavier bearing, 
stronger, longer lived trees. 
Which Tree Would You Want? 
Notice the nursery trees pictured below. At the left (1) see the or- 
dinary tree with weak roots—and alongside it, at (2), the Stark Special 
Method Whole-Root Tree with luxurious root structure. 
See what happens as the years pass—below at the right are pictured 
the same trees six years later. In those years the strong root formation of 
the Stark Tree (2) has drawn abundant nourishment from the soil to bring 
it to young and heavy bearing, while, alongside of it, the ordinary tree (1) 
is still spindly, undeveloped and shy-bearing.
