$5, 700. 00 Stark “GOLDEN DELICIOUS Crop On 414 
Acres 
Joe Brangenberg has a hillside farm in Calhoun County, Illinois. 
Years ago he had his first taste of a GOLDEN DELIC TOUS at 
an Apple Show. The marvelous flavor of the Big Golden Apple 
led him to set out a GOLDEN DELICIOUS orchard. Its early 
PROFIT MAKING SUCCESS amazed him. Recently 44% 
acres of his orchard (only 200 GOLDEN DELICIOUS Trees) 
bore 3,000 bushels. (Genuine Stark Golden Delicious apples are 
now selling for $5.05 per bushel wholesale—and they top the 
market every year.) Mr. Brangenberg says, “MY GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS trees have never missed a crop. Only 200 trees 
produced nearly 10,000 bushels 
Stark GOLDEN DELICIOUS Best Profit 
Lester W. Chambers, Ohio farmer, planted 15 acres of or ry 
corn land to Stark Trees. The land in corn he estimated might 
yield $30 per acre in good years. In STARK APPLES ina d, 
driest-on-record year, this same land yielded a CROP WORTH 
$7,000.00. The yield from STARK APPLES averaged $160.00 
an acre per year against $30 an acre from corn—better than 
per cent increase. Mr. Chambers says: 
‘BEST CROPS and BEST PROFITS from my GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS Trees (youngest, heaviest bearers of all) In 
neeee out a new prchan: I would plant it 30 PER CENT 

op 
before they were 12 years old. 
His GOLDEN DELICIOUS 
PROFITS enabled Mr. Brangen- 
berg to build one of the most up- 
to-date new homes in Calhoun 
County.

250 Stark GOLDEN DELICIOUS Trees 
Bring $3,000.00 Crop to Grower 
Thos. J. Harwell, well known Virginia grower, 
writes us: “I have 250 GOLDEN DELICIOUS 
trees now 6 and 8 years old. They began bearing 
at 3 years. This year despite the worst drouth in 
a generation they bore a splendid crop—some of 
these trees bearing 10 bushels per tree. 
“My total GOLDEN DELICIOUS crop was 1,000 
bushels and I will get at least $3.00 per bushel for them. I 
can get one third more for GOLDEN DELICIOUS than 
for other apples. 
“GOLDEN DELICIOUS is also particularly RESISTANT 
TO DROUTH—this year showing up the best of any variety 
in my orchard—these 250 GOLDEN DELICIOUS trees 
alone bearing 1,000 bushels while my 5,750 other apple 
trees bore only 2,000 bushels. GOLDEN DELICIOUS is 
also more resistant to Fire Blight than other varieties—also 
to cold. A cold spell during the blossom period ruined nearly 
everything in my orchard except GOLDEN DELICIOUS. 
As for the quality, it is superb. When you get a customer for 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS he will always come back for more.” 
“Pick of the Pack”’ 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS in 
Sweepstakes Clean Up 
H. T. BIGELOW, Bloomingdale, Mich., 
writes: ‘‘When a man takes every Sweep- 
stakes except one, and gets second on that, 
he’s going some! That’s what we did at the 
Bangor Apple Show. Every apple win- 
ning was from Stark Trees. We came 
home with about 40 ribbons and money 
prizes, and we entered only about half the 
apples our competitors did.’ 
In another letter Mr. Bigelow says: 
“We send you photograph of one of our 
exhibits ‘Pick of the Pack.’ Every apple 
shown is off Stark Tree. ALL YELLOW 
APPLES ARE GOLDEN DELICIOUS, 
except a half bushel of Grimes. You re- 
member the load the trees had at the time 
of your visit. The yield was about 500 
bushels and packed out almost a carload. 
* More people are taking to GOLDEN DE- 
LICIOUS each year. It took quite a time 
to win us over but now WE ARE BACK 
OF THIS APPLE. We have no more 
room to plant trees, so we will probably 
top-work some of the Grimesto GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS. Many visitors come to see 
our Trees. Some drive 80 miles to see 
this block, which is all in Stark Trees. 
I urge that at least 60% of plantings be 
Stark Golden Delicious and Starking.’

$726.50 Per Acre From 7 Year Old 
Stark GOLDEN DELICIOUS 
Mr. F. A. Schell, well known orchardist of the 
Northwest, set out 400 young Stark GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS Trees. Up to that time he had made 
more money from Stark’s Red Delicious than from 
any other variety he grew—and therefore he had 
full confidence in our assurance that GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS would be an even greater money- 
maker for him. 
When his GOLDEN DELICIOUS Trees were 5 years old 
Mr. Schell informed us: ‘‘Those 400 GOLDEN DELICIOUS 
Trees on 8 acres yielded me $2,041.50 worth of apples 
this year—the SECOND crop they have borne since 
planting.’’ 
Figure this for yourself. It means practically $225.50 
per acre from trees only 5 years old. 
In the next year when many growers of ordinary apples 
received low prices for their crops, Mr. Schell again wrote 
Stark Bro’s: ‘‘My GOLDEN DELICIOUS Trees—6 years 
old—bore a crop of 1,755 bushels—only 35 bushels of 
which were C grade.’’ Mr. Schell further informed us that 
he received an average of $3.00 per bushel f.o.b. or- 
chard. Therefore his gain from crop from 400 Trees on 8 
acres, figures about $5,325.00—averaging over $665 per 
acre. Mr. Schell sent photograph of a 6 yr. old GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS, bearing 6 bushels, its third crop. The follow- 
ing year those 400 trees, 7 yrs. old, bore 1,947 bushels which 
brought $5,810 or $726.50 per acre. 

“Crisp Sprightly 
Eating 9 Months 
After Picking”’ 
Prof. F. S. Merrill, Nationally 
Orchardist, Ex-President Missouri 
cultural Society, former professor in Horti- 
culture both Missouri and Kansas Agri- 
cultural Colleges, writes us enthusiastically 
of GOLDEN DELICIOUS. He has been 
in charge of over 1,000 acres of orchards in 
the Central West. He says: ‘‘“GOLDEN 
DELICIOUS retains its extraordinary 
quality unbelievably long. I ate some 
GOLDEN DELICIOUS in June (nearly 
9 mo. after picking) that still retained 
the crisp, sprightly quality. It keeps so 
long, and retains its juiciness, beautiful 
appearance, crisp flesh and aromatic flavor 
so late that it has little or no competi- 
tion on late markets. GOLDEN DE- 
LICIOUS shows regular, annual, heavy 
bearing habits—even young trees. I am 
amazed at its FROST RESISTANT qual- 
ity. When practically all other varieties 
fail, GOLDEN DELICIOUS bears re- 
markable ai I believe GOLDEN DE- 
LICIOUS will hold a place all by itself 
both in the esteem of apple consumers and 
as the prefe trred choice of fruit growers.
