Bismarck Apple Tree. BISMARCK. Bears fruit on 2-year grafts. Of finest quality, finest color, dwarf and extremely prolific ; most suitable Apple for hot climate, yet the hardiest known. A prominent firm boldly asserts that 1-year grafts bore as many as eight fruits, that 2-year-old trees sel- dom fail to produce good crops, and that the tree is an excessive bearer and extremely hardy. The tree is of short, stocky growth, and when laden with handsome fruit at one or two years old, is a pretty pot plant for table or greenhouse decora- tion. The tree is a hardy, vigorous grower, and the Apples are very sound, solid and heavy. It is especially recommended for gardens when grafted on Paradise stock. Fruit is large, brilliantly col- ored and very handsome; flesh tender, pleasant, subacid, of distinct aud most delicious flavor, un- equaled as a dessert Apple, very superior for cook- ing, and will keep in an ordinary room till March. Being among the first to offer this rare and val- uable variety, we now have a very fine stock of trees, and have made prices low so as to induce liberal planting. Paragon. A seedling from Tennessee. The original tree, over 50 years old, is still vigorous and bearing, though mutilated by storms. The young trees show great vigor of growth, come to bearing very young, and are very productive. Fruit large, roundish, somewhat flattened; color dark red, slightly streaked; flesh firm, yellow, crisp, aromatic, subacid and juicy. It is a very late keeper, rich and of excellent quality. Thought to be a cross between Winesap and Limbertwig, com- bining the good qualities of each. Its full size, showy appearance, long keeping and splendid ship- ping qualities, together with its excellent flavor, render it very valuable as a market or family variety. STARR. The original
