Original $5,000.00 Parent Tree 
Many old-time ideas of fruit growing have been shattered in recent years. Ideas 
on how long it takes a tree to come into bearing—on size of fruit—on bushels of 
yield. Truly remarkable improvements in fruit varieties have been made in recent years! 
Thousands of folks have not yet seen these new and amazing va- 
rieties, and so for every one of these miracle fruit trees that we are now 
able to produce, many ordinary trees are still grown elsewhere. When 
more people know the difference between ordinary trees and these Stark 
Record-Bearing Strain Trees propagated direct in line from these fa- 
mous Record-Bearing parent trees, few will buy the ordinary kind. 
For one heavier bearing tree will pay its entire cost with just one 
of the extra bushels it produces. 
One tree that produces larger fruit will pay its entire cost by the 
added value that larger fruit brings—just one bushel of superior big 
fruit will often bring double the cost of a tree. 
One tree that comes into bearing 2 or 3 years quicker will pay its 
entire cost by the value of just one of its extra crops. 
Isn’t it false economy then to accept ordinary trees just to save a 
few pennies at the start? Better to plant a few less and plant outstand- 
ing trees! You may get as much fruit from these fewer trees as from 
many others. And you can be sure that the fruit you do get will be the 
finest of its kind. 

Luther Burbank held the members of Stark Bro’s 
Nurseries & Orchards Company in such high esteem and 
valued their horticultural work and cooperation so greatly, 
he requested Stark Bro’s to carry on his great work and 
introduce/to the world his new Fruit Creations. We now 
WE PAID $6,000 FOR ONE PARENT TREE 
We have for years had more fruit trees than anybody else in the 
world. Yet we paid $5000.00 to buy the original Stark Golden Delicious 
Apple Tree—so you might grow the World’s Finest Yellow Apple! 
We found the amazing Starking Double-Red Delicious Apple 
growing on only one limb of one tree in a farmer’s orchard. We paid 
him $6,000.00 for that one limb—so you can now grow it, too! 
We paid $3000.00 for the Burbank Gold Plum. We paid another 
$3000.00 for the Burbank Van Deman Quince. 
The only way we could buy the wonderful Scarlet Staymared 
Apple was to pay for the original limb at the rate of $1000.00 a foot! 
Thus we acquired these and other remarkable varieties. Many 
have been awarded U. S. Patents and Trade-Marks. Is it likely that 
such varieties as these can be “picked up” anywhere from “curbstone 
growers” who represent them as “similar to”? No! They cannot! It 
might take years to find out how different they are. And then 
precious time would have passed.
