A tender, juicy apple with a peculiar fragrance that makes it popular on the 
fancy fruit stands and well-liked for home and kitchen use. Uniform in size, 
beautiful crimson, flesh crisp, delicate—almost snow white. Our propaga- 
tion is from a selected Montana Red McIntosh orchard and is carefully kept 
pure. The tree is long-lived, extremely hardy, a strong spreading grower and 
comes into bearing young. Eating, Cooking, Drying, Cider, Market. NNCS. 
“‘T believe that the varieties in greatest demand by Michigan growers during 
next ten years will be McIntosh, Northern Spy, Delicious or Starking.’’—Dr. 
V. R. Gardner, Head, Dept. of Horticulture, Mich. State College. “‘McIntosh 
of course is very popular and deservedly so.’’—Geo. F. Potter, Horticulturist, 
New Hampshire. ‘‘I doubt very much whether many Baldwins, Greenings or 
Northern Spies—the old standards—will be planted now. The chief demand 
will be for McIntosh, Cortland, etc.’—U. P. Hedrick, Director N. Y. Exp. 
Station, Geneva.

The famous, spicy Grimes Golden apple, for over 50 years the Queen of Qual- 
ity among apples. Our Record-Bearing parent tree at Ohio Ag. Expt. Station 
averaged 40 Bushels for 14 years. Fruit medium size, beautiful golden yellow, 
round-rectangular shape. Possesses an alluring flavor that is surpassed or 
equaled by only one yellow apple—Stark Golden Delicious. A mod- 
erately spreading grower, makes a beautiful orchard tree. The tree trunk, 
however, is subject to collar rot and is short lived, but the Stark ‘‘Double- 
Life’ Process of growing the tree resists collar-rot. This ‘‘Double-Life’’ Process, 
Trade-Marked by Stark Bro’s, as conceived and completed here at Louisiana, 
Mo., injects into Grimes Golden trees the blood of long life—the stamina 
and roots of a sturdy tree. The increased vigor results in a Grimes Golden 
tree that will bear more, bigger and better apples. And—because it Doubles 
the Life of the Tree, it more than doubles the profit to the grower, for it 
adds years to the life of Grimes Golden trees. ‘‘Double-Life’”’ Process is Trade- 
Marked and trees can be sold only by Stark Bro’s.

The Grime Golden tree has a fatal fault —collar 
rot, causing the death of thousands of acres of 
Grimes Golden trees just when they should be most 
profitable—at 12 to 15 years of age. To control this 
eDauhle Lifes Method Gasralis bad habit, our years of experimenting has 
More—Pays You. perfected our ‘‘Double-Life’’ method of 
growing which insures long life and strength 
to the Grimes Golden tree trunk, and 
should double the value of this variety in 
the orchard. 
We start with carefully selected Hardy Crab 
Roots. (See C in photo.) To each is grafted 
a long scion of sturdy Rot Resistant Stock, 
which forms the main mass of lusty root 
growth and the trunk. (See PB in photo.) 
High up on this disease resistant ‘‘Double- 
Life” body is added the Grimes Golden Bud. 
(See A in photo.) Result—a ‘‘Double-Life”’ 
Grimes Golden tree. Wood of Grimes Golden 
well above ground. Resists collar rot—and 
trunk becomes stronger at union than any 
other point.
