PARAGON (‘•Feniinons"—Stark Uocord-ltonrinK Strain.) This is \inqnestioiiabiy 
the lK‘st appie of the Mauimotii Itlack Twig group. Some growers have ealied it 
"Tlie (rloritied Winesap” and the name fits it for Paragon has many eharacteristies 
of Winesap lait averages 50% larger. It is a deep solid ren apple, very firm flesh, 
mild in flavor and of suiHuh (piality. Keeps nntil late and d<H*s not scald in storage. 
The tree grows to a great sizi*. is long lived and bears well. Our propagation is 
from a heavy, young bearing tree scdeeted he<uuse of extra lilgh color on fruit. 
Far more valuable than old Mammoth Itlack Twig. We consider it the best apple 
of tlu* Winesap type with the e.xeeption of the Shiyman Winesap, Staymared and 
Scarlet Staymared.

Stark Trees Reach Customers 
Full of Life and Uninjured 
Did you know that probably half the 
tri*i*s idanted by orcluirdists are only 
“half alive'") Many of these “Half 
Allvi*” trees grow and Anally make 
fairly good trees, but they would make 
good trees 2 or 3 years sooner if tlie 
Delicate Roots Retained all the Vigor 
th(*y liad when lifted from the ground. 
“Full of Life.” Stark Bro’s great care 
in Preventing Exposure Through Every 
St(‘p of the Digging and Shii>ping, and 
finally the Stark packing—the “Round 
the World I'ack”—Brings your Stark 
Tri'cs to you “Full (»f Life,” so th(*y will 
giv(> you 2 or 3 extra crops, will come 
into bearing younger, will make bigger 
trees quicker and live longer than other 
tre(*s, that to the eye look almost ns 
good. But yet wlieu they are 
planted, what a wonderful 
difference! In two yi'iirs your 
Stark Trees are big trees — 
the otlier 'trees just jioke along

soils for their lH*st development—and our 
propagation is scientifically safe and de¬ 
pendable. Growing from Kecord-Bearing 
Strains only, we solicit tiie orders of those 
•who want BE.ST trees of BEST improved 
kinds, and assure planters of tliorough satis¬ 
faction. 
Note the Wide-Spreading System 
of Roots 
Note the pilotograph below. Tin* straiglit 
trunks and proiierly sjiaced limbs show per¬ 
fect handling and training in the nursery 
row. The roots show the results of Stark 
methods of Whole-Root Grafting, suitable 
soils and proper cultivation and care in the 
nur.sery. When planting an orchard (large 
or small) remember your success depends 
largely on the trees used. Strong, thrifty, 
heavy bearing, orchard trees grow only from 
strong stock.
