If it costs $75 an acre to clear land; $50 an acre to set
it to trees, and $25 per acre each year to take care of
the orchard
And
If this land is worth $1000 per acre when the orchard
is four years old,
What
is such land worth in the unimproved state?
Think
this over carefully and figure it out for yourself
Then
Come and get my prices on the best unimproved
tracts in the Lower Valley.

fruit you will want more. Stark Early Klherta will increase
peach-orchard profits where ever planted.
I believe Stark K:tr!y Elberta ia one of the belt varieties introduced
since the firtt Elberta came. It will no doubt play an important part
in sections such as we have here where growers do not want too
many varieties but must have early and late kinds. In Early Elberta
one has all the good qualities of Elberta and the additional feature
of early ripenina. E. H. Favor, Horticulturist, Davis County. Utah.
$15 per box for Delicious
Eight botes of Stark Delicious, at the Denver National Apple
Show, aold at $15.00 per bos, while one box was sold for S25.0U.
J. W. Murphy. Glenwood, Iowa.
That ii the world's record price for apples. All the news
papers reported it it further opened the eyes of planters
everywhere. Only surpassing quality complete apple
supremacy could command such a price. Stark Delicious is
11 that and more.
If you have not yet planted Delicious or if your plantings
of it have been small, make a hig order for it this spring
don't wait another season. It is the greatest profit-producer
in the whole list of apples you simply can't afford not to
have it in your orchard.
Don't be deceived by unscrupulous nurserymen offering
you Delicious. There is hut one Delicious and that is Stark
Delicious owned, controled and sold only by us.
Send your order early our immense stock will be over
sold before the end of the season.
Black Ben Wins
Carload Premium
Black Ben won the $500.00 carload premium at the Denver
National Apple Show. Here'i a telegram:

Have you Black Ben in your orchard? If not get it in thii
tpring plant largely of It. As a commercial sort it ii unsur
passed, a sure, regular producer of handsome profits. It sold
this year at the Wenatchee Wash., Fruit-Growers Ass'n
ale. at the same price as Jonathan $2.00 per box, while Ben
Davis brought only $1.40, Gano $1.50 and Mo. Pippin $1.50.
You positively cannot make a mistake on Black Ben plant
it largely you'll never regret it. As a filler for Spitzenburg,
Newtown, Jonathan, Delicious, etc., it is excellent.
Our stock of Black Ben is immense finer trees never grew.
Get your order in early.
From a commercial standpoint I fully and heartily recommend
Delicious, Black Hen and Stayman Wineaap aa three of the finest
varieties for commercial orchard planting. The eatinl qualities of
Delicious and Stayman Winesap are superior to any other table
pple while Blink Men is the apple for the masses. The keeping
Qualities of nil three varieties are excellent. I came to the United
States Land and Imitation Kxposition at the Coliseum, Chicago,
with the Wenatchee Commercial Club Exhibit and have sold a
numher of boxes ol Stark Drliciniii at $10 00 per box. This, I think,
apeaks well for them C. W. Wilmeroth, Wenatchee, Wash.
Note: Mr. Wilmeroth spent 32 years on South Water St., Chicago
as an apple commission man. He probably la the best posted apple

General Stock
We never grew a finer or larger stock of all the popular
western varieties than we are offering thii spring. Tree
perfection is a description of every tree, and remember we
positively assure complete satisfaction. Most of the country's
reliable nurseries are already sold out. The demand is ten
times greater than the supply. We have the stock to fill every
order for all sorts and the kind of stock that will make the
buyer our lasting friend. But early buying is wise buying. It is
to your advantage to order promptly.
Increase your orchard profits -do it by planting the splendid
tested special sorts of Stark Trees. Begin now don't wait
until next season. Plant now and be that much nearer a big
profit paying crop than you would be by waiting 6 months
or a year.
Here is a brief list of varieties highly adapted to western
conditions the kind that will make a model orchard which
will yield Profitable returns.
