7 Bushels on Gilbert’s 5-Year Starking Tree 
(See Actual Color Photograph Above) 
Starking Delicious is adding millions of dollars in extra profits to the fruit 
growers of America. Mr. Elon Gilbert of Richey & Gilbert, largest personally 
owned orchard in the Northwest, wrote us on December 22nd: ‘‘About this 
time of the year we like te send a small gift to those who have con- 
tributed to our success in the past year. We have 10,000 Starking De- 
licious Trees 1 to 6 years old. They began bearing younger than old 
Delicious. In fact we had 7 bushels from one 5-year-old tree. The 
enclosed picture combines a good picture of a Starking limb 
(see color photograph above) with the name Richey & Gilbert.’’ —Elon 
Gilbert, Yakima Co. 
“For 100% Flashing-Red Color, Plant Starking Delicious’’ 
“T advise fruit growers to plant Starking Delicious for better bearing, earlier red 
100% coloring, firmer flesh and better flavor than old Delicious.”’ R.S. Ward, Can. 
“First Choice with Growers’’—declares John C. Snyder, 
Washington State College 
*“A recent survey of apple growers reveals some interesting information about future plantings,”’ 






“They Put Me On ‘Easy Street’ ”’ 
“When I planted 250 Starking Delicious Apple trees I was heavily in debt 
on a small farm, but in a short time these trees began to bear and in no time 
at all they put me on “easy street’’—making me from $3,000.00 to $6,000.00 
per year. Not a bad income for an old man 80 years old. When I say apples, I 
consider Starking Delicious the finest in the world.’ J. E. Parish, Calif. 
“Revolutionizing the Apple Industry”’ 
“The State boys recommend Mcintosh and the like for the Hudson Valley, 
but I wish I didn’t have a one of them on my place. Your new red sports— 
Starking Delicious, Scarlet Staymared, Jonared, etc.—are going to revolu- 
tionize the apple industry in the Hudson Valley. Right now I am getting 50¢ 
more per bushel for my Starking Delicious than for McIntosh and Cortland. 
The buyers went crazy over my Starking and Staymared.”’ O. Cookingham, N. Y.
