fruit over a four to five weeks’ period. Comes into bearing rather 
young and is long-lived—trees 60 to 80 years old still producing

One of the few apples which blooms and bears on 
terminal and lateral buds as well as spurs—like 
Stark Golden Delicious, Jonared and Stark Red- 
Gold. This habit assures crops when others fail, by 
extending the blooming season. 
Fruit is larger than Yellow Transparent. Skin is 
smooth and glossy, overspread with bright red. Flesh 
firm and crisp. Flavor sprightly with distinctive 
aroma. Quality is one of the best of its season. 
When the originator, Earl C. Ohl, entered this 
Prize-Winning New Apple in the Stark-Burbank 
Show he wrote: ‘‘When this tree was 2 years old it 
bloomed—result 2 apples; the following year—when 
3 years old, it bore almost a bushel. Last year I got 
$4.00 a bushel (wholesale) for all I had to sell when 
Yellow Transparent went begging.’’ Cooking, Eat-

Every kind of Stark tree is grown in especially selected soils 
and climatic conditions ideally suited for the production of each 
different kind of tree. Result—leading orchardists and author- 
ities report that these superior Stark trees have the biggest 
roots and best tops grown in America. 131 Years of Stark 
Nursery experience, combined with scientific nursery culture 
give to Stark tree planters the fastest growing, youngest bear 
ing, heaviest bearing trees obtainable. 
When E. D. McGuire of Ill. received his Stark trees this 
ear, he wrote: ‘“‘I have just received the 500 Apple trees, and 
I have never seen such fine, well-rooted, clean, healthy trees.’

mild, aromatic flavor and is good for eating.

At Mich. Hort. Meeting in 1944 Walter 
Toenjes, Supt. of Grand Rapids sub-station, 
answering a question regarding Yellow Trans- 
parent said: ‘If I were going to grow that 
type of apple I would grow one of the newer 
varieties like Lodi. It is considerably larger, 
and demands a better price, also it keeps bet- 
ter than Transparent.” 
“‘As Lodiripens the flavor becomes milder and 
pleasantly aromatic so it can be eaten with 
relish. It keeps longer than Yellow Transpar- 
ent; does not get mealy and soften at center 
as soon,”
