Good Chestnut Tree.

The Paragon chestnut tree il Wig
orous grower and an early and abun-
dant bearer. 1t makes unusually thick
burs. containing generally three large
nuts. While on the tree the burs do
not fully open. and the nuts usually
remain in the burs until they drop to
the ground. This characteristic gives
1t an advantage over all others on
rough and rocky ground. and saves the
loss and difficulty occasioned by pick
ing the nuts from the grass beneath
the tree. Paragon scions grated on
native sprouts make very rapid
growth. and usually begin to bear
when four years old.
