A SIX - MONTHS - OLD 

 CHESTNUT TREE 



The picture shows the way in which 

 the chestnut burs form in relation to 

 the catkins. Many of the hybrid 

 chestnuts have the peculiar quality of 

 putting forth blossoms at almost 

 every season, so that flower buds and 

 blossoms and mature fruits may be 

 foimd on the same branch.
