Paragon

This is a southern variety of the Winesap type. In the apple- growing- regions of the South where it has been tested it has proven to be an excellent variety in many respects, but it is not generally regarded by the orchardists of that region as being especially promising for commercial orchards. The fruit evidently does not develop to as high a degree of perfection in New York as it does in more southern latitudes. It is not probable that it will prove successful as a commercial variety here, though it has sufficient merit to make it worthy of testing to a limited extent.
