. Gentlemen: 
The two snapshots enclosed are of 
a Stark “Golden Delicious” Dwarf 
planted in April 1950. The pictures 
were taken October 1952. That, if I am 
correct, is 29 months. This same tree 
had a few apples the year before (1951). 
In 1952 I took off a few more than %4 
bushel. You can observe size from the 
snapshot. ~ % 
= a “Lodi” planted the same time had 
a peck of fine apples. I believe we 
picked them late in July. I am sure 
pleased and have recommended Stark 
+Hardy Dwarf Apple Trees to many of 
my friends. ;

Doctor Picks Apples from 
2-Year Dwarfs. 
“On March 1950 we planted 8 of your 
dwarf apple trees. They made good 
growth beyond all expectations. In 1951 
they blossomed (some of them heavily) 
and 5 of the 8 bore fruit. A Stark Golden 
Delicious had 39 apples on it. (15 on 
one limb). A Stark Jonared had about 
20 apples.”

“February 1949 I purchased from your 
firm two Stark Golden Delicious and 
two Starking Delicious Dwarf Apple 
Trees, Last year, 1950, the Golden’s 
had a few apple and this season I picked 
nearly 30C apples from the two trees. I 
am sure pleased with them and they are 
a source of admiration by all my 
neighbors.”

Stark Dwarf Trees Hardy in Minnesota. 
“Last Spring you shipped 6 of your 
Dwarf Apple Trees to me. At the time 
there was some question in my mind as 
to whether they would weather the win- 
ter or not. They have come through an 
unusually severe winter in fine shape 
and look as good or better than our 
native trees.”

Pleased with Stark Dwarfs. 
“The one dozen dwarf apple trees sent 
me last autumn are all out in leaf and 
the dwarf apple trees sent me just a 
year ago are in blossom and probably 
will bear fruit this year. I am very 
much pleased with them.” 
Fred W. Manning, 
Santa Clara County, Calif. 
Dwarfs Extremely Popular. 
Western New York fruit tree grow- 
ers report an unprecedented demand for 
dwarf fruit trees. The dwarf trees take 
up less room than their standard-size 
brothers. In huge suburban housing pro- 
jects, where lots are usually small, they 
ate extremely popular. 
Trees Arrived in Excellent Condition. 
“Although my order was only a small 
one, I received it in excellent condition. 
I was very pleased with the care taken 
in the packing of the trees to insure 
their arrival in a good condition, If the 
trees don’t grow I can blame nobody 
but myself...”
