Stark Delicious Apple

is wondrous success, and solely
on its genuine merit is the most
talked of apple today. This is what
one of the greatest commission
houses in the country says OF it.
Last year we secured one carload of Del
icious from Washington and placed them
in small lots in Chicago and large Eastern
cities at 40 per cent more in price than 9TH
er varieties we handled at that time. Who
ever had them last year, have repeatedly
asked for them this year before our supply
arrived. This year we are selling Delicious
at so per cent more than Jonathan, Grimes
Golden, Rome Beauty, Alexander, etc.
They are just what particular people want
in fine table apple, being neither too sweet
nor too sour, fine locker and have good
keeping qualities. We unhesitatingly say we
consider it the best all round apple, espec-
ially for table use, and in our estimation
Delicious should head the list of all apples.
