CHINQUAPINS AND 

 CHESTNUTS 



The chinquapin is a species of chest- 

 nut bearing very small nuts, which 

 have, however, the typical chestnut 

 form and quality. The picture, show- 

 ing chinquapins at the top and dwarf 

 hybrid chestnuts below, illustrates both 

 the similarity in form and the contrast 

 in size. The strains of the chinquapin 

 have been combined with those of the 

 other chestnuts in our complex hybrids.
