The Hertford Bread, Friday, December 3, 1909
From nursery direct to the planter, the world's standard trees (Stark Trees) are now sold at

Mail Order Buyers
for all cash-with-order business.
In addition to giving this liberal discount, we also prepay freight to any
point in the United States, on orders amounting to $10 or more, box and
pack shipments without extra charge, most nurserymen make extra charges for
boxing and packing, guarantee safe arrival, give generous premiums and
assure every customer complete satisfaction.
Why We Make This Offer
Heretofore Stark Tree* have been told through
salesmen, to whom we have paid a commission for
•ending us your orders. We have now discontinued
selling through salesmen and are dealing direct with
the planter in the irrigated valleys and orchard re-
gions of the west. Thus the commissions formerly
paid are Mved—and given to you.
Our Catalogue4jj^
Is Our Only Salesman
in this state and it is a top-notch salesman too—bet-
ter by far than most men salesmen. Every question
you could ask, it will answer, and the answer will be
correct—not a guess. Every variety in all classes is
fully described, strong and weak points are pointed
out—(everything is not listed as "best" as is the
case with most nurserymen's literature). Following
each variety is a key indicating the section of the
country where experience has proven that variety
will succeed.
This book contains accurate and valuable infor-
mation on methods of planting, fertilization, cover
crops, planting and care of trees, suggestions for
•praying, pruning, etc., etc. Over 150 illustrations
from actual photographs are within its pages.
You could not ask for a better salesman than is
our catalogue-price-list. With it in your hands you
can order more successfully, conveniently, and with
better results than you could by talking to the best
Informed nursery salesman. Send for it today.
Have You
Planted Stark Delicious?
If not make it the first and biggest item on your
next order—you'll never regret it. Delicious is the
most wonderful apple known to horticulture for
quality, keeping qualities and selling value. This year
at the sale of the Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers'
Ass'n (Washington) Delicious brought $3.00 per
box f. o. b. there (the present market value is $ 4.00),
while Spitzenburg brought only $2.50, Winesap
$2.25, Jonathan $1.90, Black Ben $1.75, {now $2.00
—selling with Jonathan), Baldwin $1.15, Ben Davis
$1.40, Gano$1.50, etc.
Luther Barbaak. Wizard of Horticulture, say*: "De-
licious is a lent, the finest apple in all the world. It it
«le best in quality of any apple I have so far tested"—
and Luther Bur bank knows.
Delicious $2^000 ^jer Acre
100 seven year old Stark Delicious apple trees in the
Bailey Orchard, Chelan Co., Washington, earned
$2,000 for their owner last year and when prices were
low—or aa average of $20 per tree for one season's crap.
Delicious is today making more profits—big
profits, for the long-headed, far-sighted orchardists
who have planted ft than any other variety. Write
for "The Apple Stark Delicious" a booklet giving
its full history and the opinions of the world s
freatest horticulturists and successful orchardists.
t will convince you. Last year we sold 1,250,000
trees of Delicious alone and could have told another
| million had we had thum. Planters now-a-davs
do not buy a variety at that rate unless there's a rea-
son. And there is one—send for the booklet.
Stark King David A££|£
You should plant it along with Delicious -plant
it largely -you'll never regret it. It's a money milk-
er, and a big one. It has highest quality, is a long
keeper, very hardy, and has beautiful color. Sells
at highest prices. Many planters think it better
than Delicious.
"In my opinion Kin* David will surpass Delicious as
a commercial apple It u tine as s«lk."—Rev. T. M
Atkinson, Entiat, Washington.
Was in Mr. Olds' orchard last week. His Kins
David 3-yr. old trees will hear quite a lot of fruit this
year. I consider them far ahead of Jonathan the fruit
is larger, has better color and flavor and is a better
keeper.—D. J. Hayden, Chelan Co., Washington.
Kin< David stood 25 decrees below tero last winter
without iniury while Ren Davis suffered severely —
R. G. McDoujall. Chelan Co.. Washington.
Kini David, a very rich red, makes a most beautiful
apple. Hanss on the tree well, equal to Ren Davis
and just as productive; quality is equal to Spit*enbur(,
picked three botes from one scion trailed on Hen
Davis. It is the finest apple you have lor this part of
the country; the most beautiful apple trown; can t help
but sell anywhere._ and ahead of all others. Have
heard nothinS but Kins David all this season. Have
had to date fifty-two parties at my place to see these
apples.—F. Daado, Chelan Co.. Waahinjton.
Include King David in your next order. You'll
never regret it and will want more when you see its
magnificent fruit.
Stark Early Elberta Peacl^
One of the good things you can not afford to
overlook. It is winning golden opinions from
experienced fruit men the country over. Better
quality than Elberta and ripens ten days to two
weeks earlier, reaching the markets when ull other
good peaches are scarce and thus commanding high
prices. A great shipping peach, surpassing Elberta.
I believe Early Elherta Is one of the best varieties
introduced since the first Eiberta came. In Early
Elberta one has all of the food qualities of Elberta. and
the additional feature of early ripeninS. When this is
taken into consideration, sad when it is planted along
with the original Elberta. much of the strain and con-
gestion which comes with peach harvest will be Sreatly
rcduced. The shipping sea "i will |.e lengthened.
—E. H. Favor. Asa't Horticulturist, Davis Co.. Utah.
Havint tested its shipping and keeping qualities
thoroughly, without doubt it is the most valua ,'.e ad-
dition to the commercial peach ist introduced in r-ccnt
years; an excellent shipper an I as n keeper it h is no
rival.—L. Marsh. Host. ln r—clor, Davis Co . Utah.
J. H. Hale (The Peach King) wrote me that he took
some Early Elberta home from Oeorgia snd that they
kept nearly twice as lonj as Elberta — Dr. Sumntr
Gieason * Originator of Stark Early Elberta; Davis
F.arly P.lbfrta is all right Two tree* bore fine, yel
low. spicv truil and although not a tull crop, it was more
than waa produced by SO Klberta trees in the same
orchard Ripened with tUirman —E H Ritihl. Ill
Ktpenment Station Pies. Alton Horticultural Society.
Madtaua Co., Ul.
Stark Early Elherta is worthy of your utmost
confidence plant it largely and reap the harvest of
Erotits which will surely follow. The true Stark
larly Elberta can he had only of us. We
purchased the exclusive propagating right from the
originator, Dr. Sumner Gleason.
Other Western Varteries
The success of un orchard is dependent upon the
judgment displayed in the selection of varieties
the profit paying kind. And profit in fruit growing
means quultty. Quality and color are the two
things that the great fruit consuming public pay
their money for. That's certain—you can't deny it.
Increase your orchard profits do it by planting
the splendid tested special sorts of Stark Trees. Begin
now don't wait until next seaaon. Plant now
and be that much nearer a big pVofit paying crop
than you would be by waiting o months or a year.
Here is a brief list of varieties highly adapted
to western conditions— the kind that will make a

THE NEW
TEXAS STEER
The Breed on the Texas Ranches
Fast Becoming First Quality
of the Land
For several years Texas cattle-
men bave been working out the prob-
lem of feeding as well as breeding
for meat stock. The annual fat
stock show at Fort Worth has been
a potent element in this advance-
ment, at all the large and small
fairs it has had attention ; the A. &
M. experiments in feeding for the
best results in pounds and quality
have helped substantially. Cattle
raisers of Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and
other states were far ahead of Texas
in this particular, and as a result
they got the top of the market in all
the live stock and packing centers.
Texas, with its leggy longhorns,
raised haphazard, and fed, if fed at
11, had to take whatever she could
get.
But all these conditions of in-
equality have disappeared or are fast
disappearing. "Predatory wealth"
and "sinster agencies" have made
market cities and packing centers in
Texas. The cattle captains on a
thousand hills have bred the bandy-
shanks and spreading hookers away,
and cattle equal in every respect to
those of the older states now make
up the bulk of holdings on many of
the ranches and stock farms of this
state. The scientific breeders and
feeders of the North have found
Texas an apt student, and destined
to catch up with the teachers. It is
in fact up. Only a few days ago
first class corn fed cattle sold on a
Texas market at prices seldom rea-
lized on any market except for
strictly show stock. These beef
steers brought $7 per hundred on
the Fort Worth market. They were
of course, a good class of steers as
to breeding, b -A not better tnan any
Texas stock farmer can have w;*h
proper care ar. 1 attention .
They were :>d first on ka.'fir corn,
—a feed that will grow anywhere,
and in any S'MSon where anything
else will grow and were finished up
on Indian corn and alfalfa. Nothing
complicated or difficult in the pro-
cess. No exo'.cs in this bill of fare
but plain fee Is that can be grown
from one end ->f the state to the
other. There is something, how-
ever, in the method of feeding and
the kind of stock to be fed to get
such results These things are the
important things for Texas growers
and feeders to learn, and this Fort
Worth market incident shows they
are "getting n xt." It also shows
that Fort Wortn, with its ceaseless
enterprise, its large liberality and
its masterful «rasp of conditions and
possibilities, his rendered Texas
and Texas live stock interests a ser-
vice incalculable in its scope and
value.—Star-Tulegram.
