STARK head of one Of the largest and
oldest nurseries in the country.
For 20 years" he says, IAN the
Starks had searched for late keepine
yellow apple as good in quality ana as
satisfactory as Stark Delicious
The first clue came to us one
April day some years ago. Three
wonderful yellow apples reached MS
from West Virginia mountaineer-
orchardist-who wrote that they were
new, heretofore unknown. variety.
The second clue was discovered
when my brother bit into one of the
golden apples. The flavor amazed him.
They looked likes Grimes Golden-but
tasted like Stark Deliciousl They
were shaped more like Stark Delicious.
And they were in perfect condition in
April Grimes Golden would have
been rotted and gone months before.
Our experts were summoned. Al
were given taste The enthusiastic
eommotion that resulted could have
only one parallel in our over century
of history-that being the time when
Stark Delicious, the King of all Red
Apples was discovered by C. NJ. Stark.
"One apple was sent TO Col Brackett
late L. $. Pomoliglst, at Washington,
ID. c. Friends present at the time
told us how the Colonel came hurrying
into the Office, little slab of this won
derful yellow apple perched on his
knife blade, exclaiming, Taste this
Here's an apple with an even better
flavor than Grimes Golden He wrote
us glowing phrases.
That fall the writer started ON The
Trail of the Golden Apple
"a 10O0-mile railroad trip, plus n 90
mile horseback ride through West vir-
ginia mountain wilds, brought me to
the farm of Mr.. A. NJ. Mullins, on
whose place this golden apple tree had
grown--no one knew how.
Back Of the house saw an or

looked as If 1t had been transported
from the Garden of Eden.

tender, juice-laden flesh. Eureka
had found it. The long-sought-for per-
feet yellow apple had been discovered.
The trail of the golden apple had
reached a successful end.
And, just as I had eaten my apple,
core and all, turned to see Mr.. Null
lins, with an 'I-told-you-sO' smile on
his face, climbing the hill to welcome
me-"
Making due allowance for "advertis-
er's license" we imagine the story Is
substantially correct. 1t interested us
as an example of the romance and adj
venture which are to be found in all
business enterprises.

apple is now grown in all parts of the

tree may be superior to any apple ever

Fruit growers do not develop new
apples by planting seeds; they search
the country for wild apple trees which
have grown to maturity from stray
seeds. The discovery of tree, grown
from a seed and bearing an apple Of
a new flavor, is great event among
apple men-comparable to the discov-
cry Of Rembrandt or a Gutenberg

The nursery men make the most of
these discoveries. The following story
