STERN’S BLUE RIBBON 
Quick Crop Size Fruit Trees 
Outstanding Super-Selected Trees 
Bear One to Three Years Sooner 

First bushel of fruit pays for your tree ! 
The Quick Crop Blue Ribbon designation is awarded by Stern's experts to > 
the one or two exceptional fruit trees out of a hundred which outgrow the others 
in the nursery field. 
Planted in your garden orchard, Quick Crop Blue Ribbon size trees will 
bear a heavy crop of delicious fruit one to three years earlier than smaller 
trees. Blue Ribbon Quick Crop trees are stronger, heavier, hardier, branch 
more luxuriantly and grow taller than ordinary trees. And their modest extra 
cost comes back to you the day you harvest your first crop of fruit! 
NATURAL LEADERS FROM THE START! 
Horticulturists know that the tree which is superior in growth, fuller in 
branching and more vigorous in roots in the early stage will hold its lead over 
its fellows for the rest of its life-span. Stern’s selects these natural leaders for 
their unusual size, for their vigor and extremely heavy root systems, designat- 
ing them Blue Ribbon—the Quick Crop size.
