Top Abov troduced Eureka be- 
cause of its iron-clad hardiness, size, beauty and early ripening 
season. Eureka bears when other so-called hardy sorts are 
killed. Beautiful, rosy cheeked peach with white flesh and 
delicious flavor. White semi-freestone. 
“Eureka is the only one out of 93 varieties that has a full 
set of live buds this season,’’ reports Joseph Gerardi, famous 
Ill. orchardist. 
“Ten Eureka peach trees came through 42 below zero in 
1934 and 25 below in 1935 without injury.”—Frank Varosh, 
Oneida County, New York. Ripe about 30 days ahead of Elberta.

Just Above ) Fair. A magnificent white-fleshed 
peach, larger than Carman, better quality than Champion and 
handsomer than any picture ever painted. Fruit creamy white 
with glossy blush of rosy red. Flesh white, firm, sweet, juicy; 
flavor rich and delicious. Usually a true freestone—some sea- 
sons being semi-free. Tree strong, vigorous, immensely pro- 
ductive and extremely hardy in bud and bloom. Every year 
growers report Alton their hardiest variety of peach. After 25 
years’ experience we recommend this as ideal peach of Cham- 
pion-Belle or Georgia-‘iley type. There are four requirements 
for an ideal commercial peach: Color, size, quality and a good 
shipper. Alton has all four. Prof. L. R. Taft, former Michigan 
State Horticulturist and one of the most conservative orchard- 
ists in the north, reports: ‘‘Alton is one of the hardiest peaches 
we grow in Michigan.” Ideal for canning, preserving and sweet 
pickles. Ripens 20-25 days ahead of Elberta. Eating, Cooking, 
Canning, Market. NCS. Introduced by Stark Bro’s.

When H. B. Sunderman, of Ohio, received his Fruit Trees 
from us he wrote: 
“It was a pleasure to unpack such trees as you sent. I am 
thoroughly convinced that it pays to purchase trees from a 
nursery such as yours.” 
Just the other day, we received another letter from Mr, 
Sunderman after his trees had come into bearing, which read 
as follows: 
“T have often looked at the picture of the peaches you show 
in your catalog, the size and the color. I can take an oath that 
we had Hal-Berta just as large as you show in your catalog and 
we had one tree of J. H. Hale that the peaches were even 
larger than you show in your catalog. We had many Stark Early 
Elberta that were as large as you show, and I do not mean a few 
peaches here and there, but one bushel after another. This I 
am sure we can prove by many people that purchased the 
peaches. Many people came to the house where the peaches 
were being sold and when they looked at them they seemed to 
be bewildered and exclaimed ‘Where did those peaches grow?’ 
When told right here in the orchard, they said ‘I have never 
before seen anything like it.’ Some said they were too large to 
go in cans."
