STARK. Stark surpasses most of its or- chard associates in all essential tree-characters —the trees being vigorous, hardy, healthy, pro- ductive, and very accommodating as to soils. The fruits are large, smooth, well-turned in shape, uniform, and keep well, but are dull and unattractive in color and not good enough in quality for a dessert fruit, though well liked for culinary purposes and prime favorites for drying. The flesh is firm and the skin thick and tough, qualities which make the crop de- sirable for distant shipment. Stark is one of the most cosmopolitan of all apples, thriving wherever apples are generally grown on this continent. The variety probably originated in Ohio, having been described first in 1867 as coming from that state. Tree vigorous, upright-spreading, dense, with long, strong branches
