Introduced More Fruits than ALL Others 
Hon. E. P. Powell, famous Horticultural author, wrote:— 
“There are two kinds of men dealing with Fruit Evolution. 
One of these is the Burbank sort, applying science to the 
SAVE MONEY— 
, All Trees are Top Quality. Regular Size Apple, Peach and Pear Trees are 4 to 5 ft.; Cherry, Plum and Apricot 
* are 3 to 4 ft. Super-Size Apple, Peach and Pear Trees are 5 to 7 ft. size; Cherry, Plum and Apricot Trees are

LUTHER BURBANK 
development of new sorts. if Burbanks are wizards, Stark 
Bro’s are the Saviors.” Stark Bro’s have unquestionably 
introduced more Valuable, Successful, Famous New Fruits 
than all other nurseries combined. 
Sole Heirs to Luther Burbank’s 
Amazing New Fruit Miracles 
When Luther Burbank, the Master Plant Breeder, real- 
ized that the end of his remarkable work was near, he named 
Stark Bro’s exclusively to continue his world-famous experi- 
ments. And Stark Bro’s alone were selected by the Wizard 
* of Horticulture to introduce his new discoveries and creations 
to fruit and plant growers everywhere. 
Men of little faith scoffed at Luther Burbank when, in 
1893, he printed his first little catalog of “New Creations 
in Plant and Fruit Life—including new fruits, larger and 
‘ more beautiful and far more delicious than had ever before 
been known. But a small handful, of kindred Pioneers pos- 
sessed the faith and foresight to recognize the genius of this 
Maker of Miracles. Outstanding among these Pioneers were 
the nationally known Nurserymen, Orchardists and Horticul- 
turists, the Stark Brothers. 
Helped By Stark Bro’s From The Start 
The Fourth Generation of Stark Nurserymen in Mis- 
souri had not only the birthright and background to give 
them faith in Luther Burbank, they also were able to back up 
this faith with financial support at the very time when Bur- 
bank’s future and the future of his history-making fruit and 
plant creations hung on that support, 
The Stark Brothers bought from Luther Burbank the sole 
rights to the FIRST TREES of “New Creations” the Wiz- 
ard of Horticulture ever sold. For these exclusive rights 
Stark Bro’s paid the Master Plant. Breeder what at that time 
was the fabulous sum of $9,000.00. 
As a consequence of this vision and financial support and 
because, in all the world, the Stark Family was the one best 
equipped by tradition and experience to carry on this miracu- 
lous work, Stark Bro’s Nurseries—and Stark Bro’s alone— 
were chosen by Luther Burbank to spread his great work 
throughout the world. 
. Today, over 100 years after the birth of Luther Burbank, 
Stark Bro’s are proud to share with you the greatest achieve- 
ments of “The Green-Thumbed Pioneer” whose great intel- 
lect, boundless imagination and patient hands gave the world 
the most remarkable new kinds of Plums Plumcots, Peaches. 
Cherries, Quinces and other fruits ever developed for the 
greater happiness and health of mankind. :
