Here is the FINEST red apple in the whole wide world!—the 
shining, solid ruby-red giant that glows on the counters of the 
highest-price luxury stores in America and floods the air with 
its wine-like perfume. Here is the MASTER apple that puts the 
crowning glory on the nation’s most expensive baskets of fruit— 
the ‘‘dream”’ eating apple prized above all others in de luxe 
clubs, fine hotels and restaurants throughout the land. The apple 
which has NEVER been equalled for magnificent color, mam- 
moth size, crackle-crisp flesh, deeply exciting sugar-’n-’spice flavor 
as tantalizing as the fragrance of an old-fashioned garden! 
And this is the apple, the matchless STARKING DELICIOUS, 
that YOU can grow right in your own back yard! 
Photo Below—Franklin Barnes picked $4,500.00 worth of Starking Delicious Apples 
from his 442 acre orchard last year. He told us that Starking Delicious and Jonared 
are so popular on the markets that he has never been able to supply the demand. 
These big all-over-red top favorites bring highest prices. He is planting 1500 more trees.

For commercial growing, Starking Delicious is the world’s 
most popular and most profitable red apple. In the past 25 years 
this one variety has built some of the greatest fruit fortunes in 
America. Because it turns full-red before it ripens, it can be picked 
crisp for late keeping—becomes ‘‘money-in-the-bank”’ for you 
weeks sooner—keeps perfectly right through the Winter months. 
All ready to cash in on fancy Spring prices long after ordinary 
apples have disappeared from the market. The world’s finest 
red eating apple. Tops in all quality markets. America’s best red 
money-maker, producing big-money crops everywhere—North, 
Central, South. 
We Paid $6,000.00 for This One Starking Delicious Limb 
It was on a limb of a genuine Stark Delicious tree that an observing orchardist 
discovered this new “‘freak’’ bud-sport limb which gave to the world its finest 
red apple. Scientists from Coast to Coast traveled thousands of miles to ex- 
amine this phenomenon of nature—this limb bearing all-over-red apples while 
the apples on the rest of the tree were still green. They unanimously pronounced 
it a true Bud-Sport and declared it would open a complete new era in apple 
growing. We bought this Bud-Sport Limb—paying $6,000.00 for it—so that 
our customers might reap the benefits of this superior red apple.

“Starking Delicious Well Colored—Others Still Green”’ 
—declared Prof. Jos. Oskamp, N. Y. State former Ext. Professor Pomology. 
“Starking Delicious exceeded my most optimistic expectations. To see the 
original Sport Limb of this tree laden with well-colored apples long before 
picking time when the rest of the apples on the (parent Delicious) tree were 
still entirely green, was a sight worth coming many miles to see!”
