Stark Trees Bearing at 2 Years

2 years.

cherries on it much to my satisfaction.” —L. L.

Grapes — All Bearing at 2 Years

and trees from several large companies. However, 
from now on it’s all Stark Bro’s stock for me. 
Your 2-year Stark Gold Cherry has fruit this, the 
2nd year, as well as Jonared Apple. Last year my 
1 year old Hal-Berta Giant Peach tree had 7 big 
peaches and this year has more. The Rose Acacia 
had flowers the first year. The Golden Muscat 
Grape has a crop.’”—Mrs. A. Fichtl, Kings

your trees are far ahead of any trees I have ever 
seen.”—Wm. Koontz, Woodbury Co., Iowa.

who knew from profitable experience the 
superiority of Stark World’s Champion 
Trees, I planted 15 acres of land that would 
probably produce $30.00 worth of corn to

picked $7,500.00 worth of Apples from my 
15-acre orchard.””—Lester W. Chambers,

“‘Have to write you and tell about the fine trees I got from you last spring. 
“The man we rent from told us that we could stay here ’till we were ready to buy a farm for ourselves, so 
last Spring we set out 50 fruit trees. 
“I divided my nursery ordering into 5 parts and sent it to 5 different nurseries. The ground was ready in 
March when the trees from the orther Nurseries came and we set them out immediately. 
“The Stark trees came 3 weeks later and to see them now you would say they were set 2 years earlier. 
Some of them grew more new wood this last summer than is contained in two of the other trees including 
both old and new wood. Are we satisfied? You bet we are! They cost us a little more to begin with but they 
are the best buy. Your Satisfied friend.”—Edwin Sarber, Webster Co., Iowa.
