To bring you this Earliest-Ripening of All high quality 
Yellow Freestone Peaches, Stark Bro’s paid the highest price 
on record for any new fruit tree or bud-sport limb. TWICE as 
much as for the world-famous Stark Golden Delicious Apple Tree! 
Vivid red-and-gold Starking Delicious Peach, with its luscious 
flavor and rich golden yellow flesh, Freestone when full ripe, 
ripens about 36-40 days earlier than ordinary Elbertas; 10 days 
before Golden Jubilee; 7 days before Redhaven. It has the identi- 
cal quality and superb flavor of its famous parent, Burbank July 
Elberta—but it ripens 3 weeks earlier! 
2 Pecks of Peaches from Starking Delicious Peach 
Tree Only 2 Years Old 
“My 2-year Starking Delicious trees have ripe peaches on them. 
I could hardly believe you or Mr. Smith, the originator, when you said 
Starking Delicious ripens ahead of Redhaven, but it’s really so—a whole 
week or more earlier. In fact, it seems to fit in exactly where we need a 
variety so much.’’—John T. Bregger, President American Pomological Society. 
P. S. “Starking Delicious is a late bloomer—one of the few varieties in all 
of South Carolina which escaped late Spring frost this year.” J. T. B. 
““My Starking Delicious Peaches Bore When Only 
One Year, Two Months Old”’’. 
“All my Starking Delicious Peach Trees bore this year, when only 1 year and 
2 months old. Some of them as much as 14 peck each.”’ H. F. Smith, Arkansas.

“Worthy Addition to Very Early Yellow Freestone Peach List— 
Superior as Freezing Variety’, Says Famous Horticulturist 
“Last week I removed the Starking Delicious Peach aleng with regular El- 
berta out of the freezer and observed carefully their performance upon thawing. 
“Both lots had been stored in plain sugar syrup. Starking Delicious behaved 
much as does Burbank July Elberta. It produced a very nice product that 
showed no tendency to darken after standing at room temperature for four 
hours. The Elberta became very brown and unattractive during this time. 
According to this observation, Starking Delicious seems to have superior merit 
in this resistance to darkening. 
“In fact, the variety looks very good from all points of view, and I believe 
that it will be a worthy addition to our list of Very Early Yellow Freestone 
Aubrey D. Hibbard, Associate Prof. of Hort. 
Peaches.”’ libb:
