STARR APPLE 



PARAGON APPLE — A seedling from Tennessee. The original tree 

 Is over 50 years old, still vigorous and bearing, though mutilated 

 by storms. The young trees show the same remarkable vigor of growth, 

 come to bearing very young and are very productive. Fruit large, round- 

 ish, somewhat flattened; color dark red, slightly streaked; flesh firm, yel- 

 low, crisp, aromatic, sub-acid and juicy. It is a very late keeper, rich 

 and of excellent quality. The Paragon is thought to be a cross between 

 Wine-sap and Limber-twig, combining the good qualities of each. The 

 large size and showy appearance of this apple attracted much admiration 

 l1 the World's Fair. 1-year-old trees, 20c. each; 82.00 per doz., postpaid.

 and produces annually abundant crops. The fruit is very large, 

 11 to 12 inches around, showy, being a pale green, frequently with 

 handsome Mush on sunny side; very early, being marketable first
