Stark Orchards Increase in Value Every Year! 

‘4A Stark Home Orchard 
Helped Me Raise My Family’’ 
declares R.R. Conductor 
“T don’t know how I could have given 
my family all the things they needed if it 
hadn’t been for my Home Orchard of 
Stark World’s Champion Fruit Trees 
and Grape Vines. 
“My family always had plenty of fruit 
for eating fresh, cobblers, pies. Our 
pantry was well stocked with canned 
fruits, jellies, jams, preserves, grape juice 
and there were big juicy apples in the 
cellar all winter long. 
“In addition to giving my family all 
the fruit they needed for buoyant health, 
sparkling eyes and sound teeth, I was 
always able to sell anywhere from 
$500.00 to $700.00 worth of Apples, 
Peaches and Grapes from the trees 
around the house and in the back lot.’’—

PLANT A HOME 
HEALTH - - - - An-abundant supply of tasty, 
tree-ripened fruit from your own Home Orchard 
all through the season with plenty for storing and 
preserving—will build up and protect your 
family’s health and resistance to illness. Home 
Orchard fruits supply necessary vitamins, min- 
erals and other health giving materials which 
are necessary to complete health. 
PROFIT - - - - Each year after you have satisfied 
the family’s fresh fruit appetite and have preserved 
and stored your winter supply, you can easily sell 
what is left to neighbors, over a roadside stand, or 
on local markets at a good profit. People welcome 
the opportunity to purchase high quality tree- 
ripened fruit at a good price. 
BEAUTY - - - - Many people plant fruit trees for 
beauty alone. What is lovelier than an apple, 
cherry, peach, plum, or pear tree in bloom? Red and 
Golden fruits also add ornamental beauty to your 
home grounds. Fruit trees make ideal lawn trees 
especially for the back yard or outdoor living 
“$90.00 Crop From Stark 
Apple Tree’’ 
“When I was working for the Express 
Company I planted a Stark Apple Tree 
in my back yard. This apple tree had at 
least 30 bushels of apples this year and 
after the family had used all they needed 
I sold $73.00 worth to my neighbors.”

‘““Home Orchard Is Source 
of Great Joy’’ 
(Reprinted from Farm Journal Magazine) 
Farm Journal

Gentlemen: 
Last Spring I noted an interesting letter in 
your columns advocating setting fruit trees 
around the home grounds for shade, beauty and 
fruit. Ever since I've been wanting to add some- 
thing to help keep this idea fresh in people's 
minds for it is such a worthy one that this 
Spring I'd like to add the result of what 
I tried. 
In 6 years I've accumulated 20 Apple Trees 
(9 different varieties). Four produced fruit 
this year. 5 Plum Trees, 3 Pear Trees, 5 Cherry 
Trees, a Prune, a Quince, an Apricot, Sweet 
Cherry and a nice row of Grapes. 
Various fruits are beginning to bear and I 
am so pleased, proud and happy that last Fall 
I purchased a small, almost adjoining lot and 
have ordered for Spring planting 25 Trees of 
leading Stark-Burbank Creations, including 
Peaches, Plumcots, Fuzzless Peaches, Prunes, 
etc., needed to give a large variety. 
These will finish covering practically every 
available nook around our home on our village 
lot plus the newly acquired lot. 
The idea of using fruit trees for my home 
planting was not original with me, but you will 
note that from year to year it has grown into a 
source of great interest, enthusiasm, satis- 
faction and joy and this result is also a 
portion of what I would like to share with 
he Ms. LW. Ressoll 
P.S. After writing this letter the thought came 
to me that perhaps I should not have mentioned 
'Stark-Burbank' but I saw the advertisement in 
your paper and I've corresponded with them for 
over a year and I'm sold on the new creations. 
Also throughout the year I have received from 
Stark Bro's a great deal of help, information, 
kindness and courtesy to help with my plantings. 

ORCHARD FOR: 
room. When a tree is needed along the boundary 
or corners of your lawn, why not let it be a fruit 
tree? 
SECURITY - - - - The value of fruit trees increases 
annually. Trees of the right Stark Young-Bear- 
ing Varieties will produce good crops at a very 
young age. They will continue to produce larger 
crops each year, assuring a continual fruit supply 
for fresh consumption during the season with plenty 
for storing and preserving. 
A STARK HOME ORCHARD - - - - Gives you an 
ample supply of high quality tree-ripened fruit 
from your own trees. No similar area on the farm 
will bring such great returns. It will add beauty 
and greatly increase the value of your home 
property. 
We want every Stark customer to succeed with 
his planting. The Stark Home Orchard Service 
Bureau will give you FREE advice and addi- 
tional information whenever requested. 
From Home Grown Fruit You Get— 
VITAMIN ‘‘A’’ ... This vitamin helps 
the eyes, wards off colds and other in- 
fections as well as promotes growth. 
When Vitamin ‘‘A”’ is left out of the 
diet, eye trouble, such as night blind- 
ness and infection of the eyes have 
resulted. 
VITAMIN “‘B”’... With Vitamin “B” 
from fruits a healthy nerve system is 
maintained. Lack of Vitamin ‘B” 
causes neuritis. 
VITAMIN ‘‘C’’. . . Vital to the main- 
tenance of sound bones and teeth. 
This vitamin has long been a cure for 
scurvy, but is still more important in 
overcoming body poisons. 
VITAMIN ‘“‘G” . . . This is the ap- 
petite vitamin. It promotes digestion 
and growth which makes for healthier 
people. 
Page 54-A 
MINERALS ... Essential minerals are 
available in fruits including Calcium, 
Phosphorous, and Iron. These are all 
important elements of the body for 
complete health. They play a vital part 
in bone building and making red 
blood as well as keeping a balanced 
condition in stomach and other in- 
ternal tissues. 
Leading medical authorities are 
recommending apples in various forms 
as a definite cure for intestinal dis- 
eases of infants. 
PECTIN ... The pectin in fruits pro- 
motes proper intestinal activity. It 
combines with water to form non-ir- 
ritating bulk, helps to cure intestinal 
troubles by serving as a potent healing 
agent on internal membranes. 
ROUGHAGE .... Scientific research 
has proven that fruits serve as a mild 
gentle laxative inducing regularity. 
Fruit helps keep intestinal tract normal 
and trouble free. 
ENERGY .. . Home orchard fruits 
have an ample supply of dextrose sugar 
in pre-digested form, thus being avail- 
able instantly for energy but non- 
fattening. Fruit is an important fac- 
tor in reducing diets. 
DENTIFRICE .. . Fruits serve as 
nature’s toothbrush, giving gum mas- 
sage and bone exercise. Dr. H. T. 
Knighton of the University of Louis- 
ville reported at American Dental As- 
sociation that in recent tests three 
minutes of tooth brushing plus mouth 
rinsing with antiseptics killed 64.3% of 
mouth bacteria. Chewing apples 
killed 96.7% of bacteria. 
FOR Whole Family’s Health 
PLANT STARK TREES FOR EACH OF 
YOUR CHILDREN—HELP PAY 
EDUCATION COSTS 
Your Stark Trees will ‘‘grow up with the children” 
—providing them with an abundance of nourishing, 
healthful, vitamin-filled fruit they will love to pick 
and eat during the years when they need it most. 
Then later on, when money is needed for their 
schooling and extras, your Stark Trees will yield 
regular, dependable profits year after year to help 
cover those additional expenses. 
A Stark Orchard, large or small, is an investment 
that automatically increases in value as the years 
go by—one that brings you and your children a life- 
time of pleasure, satisfaction and PROFIT! 

“In the Apple, nature has prepared for us the most 
compact package of health-giving food that we possess.”’
