A DWARF CHESTNUT TREE 



This bushlike tree is an example of 

 cur hybrid chestnuts. The workman 

 who stands beside the tree is five feet 

 seven inches tall. Note the abundant 

 crop of nuts on the tree and under the 

 tree. Gathering chestnuts becomes a 

 simple matter when the trees are of 

 this type. This tree bore its first crop 

 of nuts eight months after the seed 

 was planted, and has now borne ten full 

 crops of nuts when only ten years 

 of age.
