Boitom—STARK SURE-CROP 
(a Fhoto’ Earliest-of-all Yellow 
Top Above Peaches. After years of 
searching and testing we have found June Elberta to be the 
best of its season. Trees are vigorous, young heavy bearers and 
hardy in blossom. Fruit semi-freestone, big, handsome, high 
color, of excellent quality and resists rot. Unlike most extremely 
early sorts it is a first class shipper and because of earliness, 
vigor, beauty and quality will always command high prices. 
For biggest crops, plant several other varieties of Peaches with 
June Elberta. Ripens about 45 days before Elberta, Eating,

commercial sorts are on the market. Tree and blossoms ex-

Patent No. 670—Hardiest Peach 
Known. NEW, Big Red Cling. Hardiest 
of all peaches in our Test Orchards. ‘‘Earliest big White Peach with good quality. Excellent to can and 
when fully ripe, good to eat—and the longer it hangs the better it gets,’’ declares H. W. Guengerich, 

ex-President, Missouri Horticultural Society. 
“A wonderful new peach’’ says Claude Ator, Expert Peach 
Grower, of Ill., who is growing this new super-hardy white- 
fleshed clingstone in his Test Orchard with most of the leading 
peaches of America. “With all the good clings to choose from, 
Mrs. Ator inst on having Stark Sure-Crop for her own canning, 
pickling, preserves and culinary uses.” 
“Stark Sure-Crop is especially desirable for home orchards 
and roadside markets, as it ripens its fruit over a period of 2 
weeks or longer’ writes Mr. Nicholson, Originator. 
In our own tests, Stark Sure-Crop has proved to be “‘hardiest 
of all’-—bearing good crops of big red blushed peaches even 
when other rieties in the same orchard fail to bear. Im addi-

tion to its winter hardiness, the fact that it blooms late—a full 
week after Elberta blooms—makes it also a frost-dodger. 
Stark Sure-Crop is a big, brilliant red-skinned peach with a 
very small seed and thick, firm, juicy flesh—an excellent can- 
ning and shipping peach for the early high-priced markets. Flavor 
is the best of all the early ripening white-fleshed clingstones. 
Almost f less. We have tested this new peach for years in 
many different orchards, and the results have consis ently 
proved it to be hardiest of all. Tree healthy, vigorous and 
enormously productive. First fruits ripe about 40 days before 
Elberta. Eating, Canning, Preserving, Pickling, Market.
