] STARK TREES BEAR QUICKER 
—1, 2 or 3 YEARS SOONER 
One extra crop of high 
quality fruit will more 
than pay the cost of the 
tree. That’s why our 
customers will be de- 
lighted with Stark varie- 
ties which start to bear 
at such a young age that 
many folks call them 
“baby trees.” 
For instance, Stark Golden Delicious Apple 
Trees often begin to bear when only two years 
of age. The same is true of Stark Peaches, Cher- 
ries, Grapes, Berries, etc. 

? STARK RECORD-BEARING 
STRAINS BEAR BEST 
So that our customers 
will have the biggest 
crops from every variety 
of Stark Fruit Tree and 
Plant, we constantly 
search the world for im- 
proved, heavy - bearing 
strains of the different 
varieties of Apples, 
Peaches,Cherries, Plums, 
Pears, Crab Apples, Apricots, Quince, Grapes 
and Berries. 
It has already cost us more than $50,000.00 
extra to give Stark customers these Record- 
Bearing Strains. This method assures Stark 
customers trees as strong and hardy as young 
giants; vigorous as athletes; great disease re- 
sisters—Trees ready to start bearing at an 
early age and continue to delight our customers 
with big crops of delicious fruit year after year 
over a long life.

6 STARK CUSTOMERS GET 
ALL THE ROOTS 

To bring trees to our 
customers with all the 
roots, it was found neces- 
sary to build a tree- 
digger which goes down 
deep under the young 
trees and lifts them out 
gently and with the big, 
husky roots intact and 
uninjured. 
Our Tree-Digger, awarded a Patent by U.S. 
Government, saves all roots, all vitality, fresh- 
ness and vigor, giving our customers fast grow- 
ing, quick bearing trees.

of only a piece of root as is usually done, gives

Stark trees are grafted 
and budded have been

testing and experience.

perfected through the 
knowledge, research and 
skill of six generations 
of Starks and Stark Ex- 
perts—with 134 years of actual growing ex- 
perience. 
This work is handled only by experts. Many 
have been with our company all their lives. 
Their fathers and grandfathers have passed 
down, through the generations, methods proved 
to give best trees.

abated are allowed to go out from our packing 
houses.
