“BORE 4 TIMES. WHAT 1 
EXPECTED”

Starking Delicious Apples. I was 
never so gratified in the quantity pro- 
duced, the excellent color and size of 
the fruit and also in the price—$3.70 a 
bushel right at the orchard. 
“When I first started to pick these 
Starking Delicious I thought I would 
have about a: carload—500 bushels— 
but I picked four cars of them, total- 
ing 2,000 bushels.

“When I planted 
250 Starking Delicious 
Apple trees I was 
heavily in debt on a 
small farm, but in a 
short time these trees 
began to bear and in 
no time at all they put 
me on ‘easy street’— 
making me $3,000.00 to 
$6,000.00 per year. Not 
a bad income for an 
old man 80 years old,

in those apples—you should have got 
$4.00 for every bushel of them—be- 
cause every bushel of them is Extra 
Fancy’.”—Paul Ringhausen, Calhoun 
County, Illinois. 
“SAVED US DURING 
DEPRESSION” 
“I have 165 trees of Starking De- 
licious purchased from you which 
really saved the day for us during 
depression years. This small block 
(21% acres) grossed me $17,350.00 the 
last 6 years.”—A. Miller, Ore.

“Got $5.00 a Bushel for My Apples — 
$2,229.80 from 2 Acres of Stark Trees" 
Walter H. Atherton of N. M. told us that he sold a $2,229.80 crop 
from his 2 acres of Stark Apple Trees this year. He said his local 
stores paid him $5.00 a bushel for his No. 1’s and that each tree bore 
over $30.00 worth of fruit. 
10 BU. FROM 7-YEAR TREE 
“About 7 years ago I planted 2 
Starking Delicious and 2 Stark 
Golden Delicious trees. They bore 
the 4th year and this year my best 
Golden Delicious had 10 bushels. My 
Starking Delicious were not quite so 
prolific, but I had plenty that meas- 
ured 12” in circumference. 
“Mississippi may not be an apple 
state, but if anyone will plant Stark 
trees and care for them, they will 
never be disappointed.”—Douglas D. 
Weeks, Miss.

“My, Starking Delicious trees 
which started bearing when they were 
3 years are loaded again. 
“One of these trees bore 11% 
bushels. Starking Delicious is a keep-

heavy annual bearer. Apples bring me 
50% more than Delicious.”—F. M.

“In 1921 my father and mother sent you their picture standing beside a 
reer eld Stark Golden Delicious apple tree bearing 114 bushels of big golden 
apples, 
“Here is a picture of mé standing beside that same tree in 1948 from which 
my son has just picked over 19 bushels of big, juicy apples. We estimate 
that we have harvested about $1,020.18 worth of Apples from this one tree 
that cost my father only $2.50. I might add that we were very conservative 
in making this estimate.” A. Johnson-Mapes (Daughter Albert Johnson, Ore.)
