316 AGRICULTURE ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE 



As with the pecan, there are some fine chestnut trees, that 

 bear well, to be found in California and southern Oregon, and 

 the tree will doubtless do well in the Coast ranges where there 

 is not too much lime in the soils. Chestnuts are now largely 

 imported from southern Europe, especially from Italy. The 

 wild chestnut trees in the Eastern states have for some time 

 past been dying out from a fungous disease, which should be 

 kept out of the Pacific Coast.
